Today is the fifth installment of a six-week series on the colors in our community. Forum photographers are scouring the Fargo-Moorhead for the hues that accompany our beautiful summer days.

Each Wednesday we'll share a different shade, but we want to get your shutters clicking, too.

Send your own color-inspired photos to web@forumcomm.com with the "color" in the subject line. Then check inforum.com for our online photo gallery of each color.
