The exposed shiny bark seen here in the Botanic Gardens...
The dried flower heads, memories of last Summers delights...
The now BROWN hedge of a once glorious Copper Beech arbour...
But, the new BROWN, of swollen Horsechest trees sticky buds, promises Spring...
At home, my BROWNS are not many!Two necessary Tea-Pots; a Cherry & Walnut wooden money box in the shape of Prairieland Grain Elevator - empty I will add; my Cheque-Book cover with it's witty line and Mr Owl who freely dispenses string...
And, my only BROWN jewellery, is this wonderfully grained wooden bead necklace & el-cheapo earrings bought to wear with it...
To participate in True Colours Thursday, all you need, is to post a photo/photographs & text, or better still both, on the specified colour of the week.
Then, leave a me a 'Comment' here, to say you are playing along.
This week, I planned to introduce Mr Linky with his fancy 'sign in' gadget to help out.
But, as many said, BROWN was boring, expect numbers to be down today!
So, will wait & see who stays with the meme when the colour get tough going!
In the meantime, if you want to make new friends & see their 'True Colour' entry - please do check out my sidebar & Comments
I'm sorry, but I still feel the need to have comment moderation in place.

Blue, you made the dreariness of brown (boring is a word we are using for it too) into something beautiful - those outside shots are awesome. And we like that necklace a lot. Our post will be up tomorrow.
Woos, the OP Pack
I'm really impressed with the amount of brown you found! Great pictures. I struggled a bit but I hope you like what I came up with.
I just love that wooden necklace to bits. When I said brown was yucky you said 'chocolate' and I'm so pleased you did! It made a difficult colour a little easier.Look forward to seeing you at my place!
I like your choice of Browns. Lovely beads.
I actually do like the colour myself.
Mine is now up. :-)
I look forward to seeing what everyone has posted later on. Need to go get some sleep now..lol :-)
ooo i love your owls - weve put our browns up too
doyle ;D
Your 'brown' photographs are so rich. I particularly like the beads.
these are all lovely browns, blue. The gardens are exquisite.
I found a brown photo in my archives so I can participate today.
Thanks for this fun meme!
Great Browns!
We love the owl!!
We are in this week.
Lots of Luv & Kisses
Addie and Lucie
I love the browns you found outdoors!! and lovely jewelry.
I thought of photographing furniture but I opted for a far more delicious item :)
Happy Thursday!
Brown is not boring - a nice, rich colour. You have plenty of examples, all good.
Good pix. my is up
Came back to let you know it's chocolate-chocolate :)
Hey I'm back! My brown literally flew in, as we were having breakfast!
Hello,
nice pictures you had! (: Especially the owl, i like it ^^
i'll be joining in this week!
best regards

Nice selection of Browns...
Love the beads and Owl, I like brown but it was more difficult than I thought...lol
You made the brown of winter look beautiful, Blue! We love your beads! We have posted our brown too!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Ha! Things could be worse...love it! Also love your Mr Owl string dispenser....my favourite though is the Copper Beech....we have one outside our front door....when we moved here it was just a sapling but now it's huge...I love how it changes through the seasons, so many colours!
Slobbers xx
Some beautiful browns there. I'm playing, but you already found my brown entry and gosh, NO, that was a huge misunderstanding....Naloma is not for sale. It was the birdhouse that was 'for sale', but it's now for rent. Phew ;-)
I altered the text to clear that up, hopefully. Have a lovely thursday (and I'll try to add an Oxford-photo every thursday).
Browh, my Jeannie says, is the work of the devil. However, you have truly proved her wrong today with your brown pictures! We especially like the first pic and the last pic.
I think she has something against brown because it was the colour of her school uniform.
You have persuaded her otherwise.
love and licks, from Marvin xxxxxx
That necklace is beautiful - the beads are so cleverly made - and I absolutely adore your owl!
I love the patterns of the second seed-head you show, and I don't recognise it. Can you enlighten me?
My browns are posted at last.
Brown can be boring, but you sure came up with some spectacular browns! Mine is finally up.
Personally I like very much brown colour :-) Brown, green, blue ... these are the main colours of nature that make me feel good. Your set of “brown” photos are great and my favourite is your brown necklace and earrings :-)
Have a wonderful day,
Müge
p.s. My “brown” post is here:

If I click on Mar in your sidebar, I return to my own page. Tried it twice now. Is it a flaw in my computer or in your sidebar?
;-)
Hi Blue! I'm playing for the first time this week. Thank you for hosting the game - it was really fun! I've never seen a string owl like that...looks like he's got a scissors, too - nifty!
See ya!
Joey
Those are very nice scenery shots....by the way, you always have beautiful pictures.
I have some of my favourite things in brown posted on my blog. Do come by and check them out!
What fun it is looking for a certain color each week!
Blessings~ Angela and the aussie flock
Beautiful browns, you found some great stuff. Mine is up now.

I love the bark on that tree!
We're a bit late but our brown post is now posted.
Aweesome pics! Nature makes some awesome browns! Moose and I are playing along this week. As a suggestion for future colors, how about the most colors together (i.e. colorful). Not sure it would work exactly but it is a thought. Thanks for hosting this. It is even more fun than I expected it to be!
Dana + Moose
say- we noticed the date for yellow says 2007 instead of 2009. I doubt anyone is confused, but us yanks have trouble with your re-arranged dating system! ;-)
Love the beads! Mine's up, but it's buried under a couple other posts...
Hi Blue!
I really like the brown stuff you found! I have posted mine! I hope we get lots of sunshine next week to go along with sunny yellow!
:) Tibby
Hi Blue-
I have posted my BROWN things. I love playing True Colours with you. I will start finding YELLOW things for next week:)
XOXOXO

Thanks for the True Colors Thursday idea, brown is my favorite color since I'm a brown Bedlington. (actually the term is "liver" but who's counting)
Mom's got some brown beads similar to yours! Nice!
Love,
Rudy
Lovely selection of browns. I especially like the beads. I'm a little late again, but wanted to play along. Mine is finally up.
Blue!
My brown post is up! I know I cut it close, but I made it. Phew!!
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
