I was just asked what are my favorite colors. I think I found them at White Sands Nat'l Monument. 
I had low expectations when we went there to visit. After all I have seen plenty of sand dunes in my day. But these are very unique. 
The road looked just like it was packed with snow but it was gypsum sand. 
This lizard blended right into his environment after I startled him he tried to bury himself and stay still. He left his tail exposed, so I gently pulled him out for a photo op. He (or she) was about 1.5" long. 
The sand is cool even in warm sun - it reflects the heat; it felt great on my bare feet. I love the colors of the distant mountains. If we go back I want to take the 4 mile hike across the sand to one of the lakes where the sand is formed. 
We spent a lovely 3 weeks in Hawaii in November this flower is growing in a lava lake from an eruption in 1957, year I was born. A few other tropic photos with colors I like:

While in Hawaii I took a couple classes to learn to do Hawaiian style quilting. 
This is my project. It will be a pillow cover about 18" square. I am a little over half way around the design appliquing it to the background. 
Then there is my design wall in my quilting room at the moment. In the foreground is a complete baby quilt waiting for a little girl to arrive any day so it can be labeled. On my wall is a partially assembled quilt with about 60 blocks - each with 52 pieces and more colors than you could name.
