25 Beautifully Colorful Websites - Part 2

A few months ago I posted a collection of beautifully colorful websites, and I wanted to follow up with 25 more sites that provide excellent inspiration when working with colors. The 25 sites displayed here use a wide variety of design styles, but all make effective use of color to create a fabulous look that leaves an impact on visitors.

Life in 11 Capsules...

Life is the process of being able to understand and accept our parents, our spouse, our children and our friends despite their occasional hurts and insults to our heart!

Life is striving hard to progress from “where we are” to reach the stage of” where we deserve to be!”

Life is to understand that living is a balance sheet of adjustments, discussions, negotiations and appreciations. There shall always be the profit and the loss factor in life!

The profit of getting into a spectacular relationship and the loss of losing out on someone, without understanding the reason for the same!

Life is being able to say what we want to say to someone we love, without worrying about the consequences of what we had said!

Life is to be able to find someone who shall be ready to accept us as what we are and not what they want us to become!

Life is meant to forgive people for their misdeeds

not because they deserve it but because we deserve it!

Writing is a healing process & a special blessing from the God

Writing is a gift from the God: some people are gifted with speech and some are gifted with making handicrafts. Some others are gifted with cooking, gardening and disciplined home making tasks. Some people are gifted with multi-tasking wonderfully well and some others are gifted with abundance of everything. The special people in the world are gifted with writing!

The writing is an amazing form of relaxation that cleanses your heart and your soul and makes you to feel free out of the bounds of this world! When you write, you are nowhere near to where you are living in the physical sense of living! You can fly away to the world created by you for your heroes: You may go with them to their work place, take a scroll with them when they do so, may attend to their dinner party and may provide a shoulder to them when they break down and cry their heart out…

healing process of the examination of your wounds and the process of their treatments

The life is so precious that I wouldn't waste a moment,

I shall choose to be happy, come whatever may, today! The life is so precious that I wouldn’t waste a moment in self-pity, unhappiness, depression and anxieties in handling the people and the circumstances.

I had gone through the deep down struggle against the “five more minutes” request from my heart a plenty of time and the will power I needed to gear up against such a fine temptation of falling asleep again

Will the Sun be smiling at the oceans, while sharing a joke with the clouds? Will he rather be taking a walk on the side streets of the sky?

I had smiled at the Sun and had smiled to myself. I had walked a bit further on and by the time, the Sun had emerged completely out of his habitat and had started scrolling along the sky, I returned back to my home, my heart getting fully soaked in the nectar of happiness, positivism, possibilities and the brand new opportunities of a brand new day!

The positivity and the possibility..

clipper's remarks: need of the hour...visit to the site well recommended...

Clip Source: www.socyberty.com

Why things should always be treated as difficult, impossible, unachievable and hopeless? Why can’t we try to do things in a more positive way?

Instead of saying that, “I don't think so” or “impossible situation” or “difficult task” etc. we may try by saying, “Why don't we try to do things in a different way?” “How about giving it a shot?” “Why not?” and “let's make an attempt at least!”

By inserting the seed of positivity, we are trying to bring in the “possibility” factor to the job in our hand. Who knows, we may end up in completing the job as well!

However, nothing is going to change our situations, neither by being negative nor by being positive, and hence, why can't we be positive?

There is something wonderful in being positive under all the circumstances.

It provides the moral courage to our character. It helps us to pull up our socks and start trying to do things in a different light.

It encourages us to get out of the situation by means of finding the solutions amicably

clipper's remarks: "Every six months, the Materials Research Society celebrates the most eye-catching images found in the course of their researchers' studies -- celebrating the serendipitous convergence of science and art.

Materials researchers may struggle for years with stubborn instruments, fragile crystals or difficult chemical reactions before obtaining a bit of precious data from the exotic substances they study. Now, the scrutiny of samples not only yields potentially important data, but also artistic inspiration.

Take a look at the latest finalists."

clipper's remarks: a stunning set of images of Stapeliads taken by Martin Heigan, plus a few other random flowers as well....

Clip Source: www.colourlovers.com

From the harsh arid regions of South Africa and reaching to some areas of Southern Europe color inspiration can be found in the beauty of the Stapeliads.

The Many Kinds and Colors of Stapeliads

Orbea Speciosa

Resembling cacti, Stapeliads are most abundant in warm, dry climates.

Tromotriche Longii

Their stems are often angular, mostly four-angled in cross-section, but in some species there are six or more, with some species of Hoodia having more than thirty angles.

Cotyledon Orbiculata

In size they vary from less than 2.5 cm/1″ in length to over 2 m/6″ tall.

Stapelia Hirsuta

The leaves are in most species reduced to rudiments, sometimes hardened and thorn-like, arranged on bumps or tubercles on the angles.”

Relationships: the need for the hour!

clipper's remarks: damn good job done...a must visit to the web page...

Clip Source: www.socyberty.com

The “I, Me and Myself” factor is ruling the world right now as against the beauty and warmth of the, “We, Us and Ourselves” factor. There is so much of, “Mine” and so little of, “Ours” in the world today, which is the fundamental cause for the souring of the relationships.

Sometimes, the relationships survive a few days' of coffee and some times it stands for a few weeks of theatres!

Sometimes, relationships take the shape of the meetings, smiles, meetings, arguments, meetings and goodbyes!

In these days of so much of everything materialistic, very sadly, so much of love is not found anywhere!

There is so much of, “Mine” and so little of, “Ours” in the world today, which is the fundamental cause for the souring of the relationships!

Then again, the necessity of having some one in our lives is more relevant today than it was ever before! We may never know what will happen to us the next moment today!

no equation in your relationship?

I had learned that however you might cry, get hurt and bleed in your heart for someone, unless that someone reciprocates your feelings, there is no equation in your relationship!

I had learned that the same person who may not respond to your feelings, may respond to someonelse's feelings most readily!

I had learned that you do forgive a person for whatever he is, not because he is a nice person but because you are a nice person!

I had learned that we hurt people who are the closest to us and for whom we do so much and sacrifice a lot all through our lives!

I had learned that no amount of crying, coaxing God or killing ourselves is going to bring a person back from his death!

beautiful words like love, life, happiness, joy, ecstasy and bliss and there are powerful words like persistence, possibility, achievement, success and leadership; but there is not a single word that is equivalent to the magic of the words like financial security, support system, power saving and no liabilities!

THE ECSTASY OF THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...

clipper's remarks: The Sun raising in the horizon, hiding behind the clouds, raising again, touching you ever so lightly and disappearing into a thin ray of melted sweet, touching you again a bit more and moving away or ahead of you, smiling at you and playing hide and seek with the still prolonging shadows, mocking at their audacity of standing up against Him…

There is an innate beauty to the early morning hours.There is something inexplicable in the way the Mother Nature smiles at you and throws her doors wide open willingly for you to enter in and explore her domain!

The breeze shall be walking with you in a companionable silence,

The leaves and the trees shall be wishing you a bright day all along your path,

The birds shall be chirping their hello to you from here, there and from everywhere!

There is such pleasant atmosphere and there are those pleasantries you share with your co-morning walkers,

The presence of calm and peace replaces the multitude of the vehicles, horn sounds, smoke, dirt and the anxieties!

Yes, there is an innate beauty to the early morning hours!

the music from the religious places, the reverberations from your walking shoes, the crushing sound from the crunching of the leaves and the healthy murmur of the sweat that is coming out of your skin pores and the sounds from your breathing
