So, in celebration of color...glorious color......we're going to go orange today!
Cholla Blossoms.
There are 28 varieties of this type of cactus.
Aren't you happy to know that?
My neigbor's chinaberry tree in the fall. When the sun hits it just right, it simply blazes!
If you're talking orange...you have to have marigolds, don't you?
And maybe one magenta and white striped petunia.
And how about an orange house? This one is in Barrio Viejo, here in Tucson.
I found this metal "LOVE" wall decoration at a flea market. It's about 28" long. Ordinarily, it hangs outside on my patio, but I kinda like it hanging on my studio wall for a change.
Some wildflowers on the Navajo reservation.
One of my paintings with an orange sky.
A recent sunrise in Tucson.
An old orange basket that I use for storage.
My Aunt's depression glass creamer.
This might have too many other colors to really qualify as "orange", but I'm throwing it in here anyway. This is the only time, in probably my whole life, that I have ever used fake flowers. But they sure seem to fit the pot. It usually lives on my patio table.
And then, there's this!
Yes...there is actually a wedding veil attached to this very orange, very sparkly baseball hat!
I hope you enjoyed all this orange! It's such a happy color, isn't it?
I might just do this same thing with other colors someday.
If I had some clothes on, I'd run down the block and take pictures of oranges on the neighbor's tree. Yes...oranges in January. That's Tucson for ya!
One of our beautiful sunsets with my saguaro rib cross in the foreground.
That seems to be a perfect way to end this blog, don't you think?
I am so GRATEFUL for my new tubes of paint!
Excuse me, while I go play with them!
