Orange

Orange
is our theme
for



My son's first fire he braved,
 was a mighty powerful swirl of orange.



THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC

Photos of carrots would fit but
 that's too crunchy
and of course you'd expect an orange or two.
Not today.



Ah yes, from our Linden Hills stroll 
orange prevails.


Perhaps an orange egg for our Easter Hunt.


"There is no blue without yellow and orange."

If you want to view inspiration first hand watch this video.
A journey of discovery, captures our orange theme beyond words.


Ergo, now that I've dismantled our theme orange,
 how did you feel?
Never angry, not one groan by dismantling.
 We earn photos that never nag
 and are like an orange glow in the sky.


From home sweet home, o range of mine, a wintry trail or, 


how about sending smiles from  



the o-safari-range 
from this land we love so much!


Did I hear, take me to a sandy white beach?


Greetings from lovely Orange Beach
in Alabama.


Lastly, but always first on an orange list,

pumpkins! Real or otherwise.



My conclusion to our theme this week,
seriously Carmi, the theme orange truly belongs
 to pumpkins, and Halloween and everything spooky.


and all things silly


and long remembered.

Thanks for stopping by
enjoy your week
and take good care of you.

Loved your shots. You could always add the House of Orange and, if you really had to, Orangemen - but they're really not much fun!

Really better for Halloween!

My first orange thought was of Van Gogh's paintings, so thank you for the link, Karen. And as always thank you for a post full of joy and colour. I hope you have a wonderful Easter!

That first big fire is an adrenaline pumping experience. I pray for your son's safety and hope he is enjoying the experience.

Orange Beach looks so inviting. Your son first fire reminded me immediately of my offshore fire training.
Lovely post, Karen
