I have a boring tumblr account where I keep track when we worm the goats and how long the bees hibernate and that kind of stuff, plus a daily picture taken while I am out doing chores from the nice point and shoot camera juli  got me, because I do a better job actually having the motivation to keep records when I am convinced someone else might see it somehow. :) 

I was curious if there were seasonal color patterns in the daily pictures - more grey in winter, flower colors in spring, etc - so I wrote a Processing sketch that downloaded a year's worth of pictures and extract colors from them and put them in a circle.

Winter = right, fall = down, summer = left, spring = up, each radial line is a day.



So the answer is ... not really. I basically post pictures of grey things and green things no matter what time of year it is. Probably living somewhere with actual seasons would help.

So now I have this script, I thought I would hit a couple other people's picture-happy tumblr accounts and see what it looked like.

juli 's last year of images:



A tumblr devoted to exploring (dark) abandoned buildings:


The National Archives official tumblr, lots of old yellow paper and black and white photos.


A tumblr about cheese:

Haven't been able to find a tumblr with a good seasonal color variation, though, which was the whole point.

I think this is interesting, even as a disproof. In fact, possibly even more interesting as a disproof of expectations. :-)
