Gray Daze (Rainbow Connection's Gray Winners!)

Gray... This week at Rainbow Connections, we've seen every kind of Gray...



Dappled Gray...



Dirty Gray...



Stormy Gray...



Weathered Gray...



Smokey Gray...

Stony Gray...

and even... Fungi Gray...



We've seen Gray in disreputable places...



We've seen Gray in pristine places...



We've seen man-made Grays...



And Grays so lovely only God could possibly have made them...



We've seen Gray in the country... 



And Gray in the city...

We've seen official Grays...

We've seen unplanned, free-spirited Grays......



We've seen Grays intent on going places...

Most importantly, we've learned that just because something is gray, it doesn't mean it's dismal.

Gray can be warm, fluffy or furry...

Gray can paint a pretty picture...

Gray can calm us, relax us, and even inspire us...

If we embrace Gray, we can see all kinds of good in it!

And now, let's congratulate the Winners of Rainbow Connection's Gray Competition by voting 10 for each of them!
