A great selection Jude! Certainly brightened -up my day! 😀
That was the intention 🙂
A really nice detailed post Jude! There is a Van Gogh museum near here I think I should go! Thanks!
I didn’t know how I could use this image Kathryn until this challenge came along. He apparently used a blue background especially to contrast with his orange beard. Works well. And yes, go visit the museum.
Yes it’s perfect Jude! Don’t you love when it all comes together ??
Whoo! Eye popping!
Definitely zingy! I need more orange in my life – SO bored living in a neutral environment. I think it is turning me into blancmange. 😉
Feeling very cheery now – that definitely worked. Thank you 🙂
A great idea from Ailsa to cheer everyone up on a rainy Bank Holiday in England!
You really found some lovely orange shots for this travel theme, Jude. Mmmm….cream cakes……now there’s a good idea. 🙂
I have been sorely influenced by #theladywholovescakes 😆
Smiling at your photos and feeling happy now 😉
Orange is a great colour helping us to look on the bright side of life. And on this grey and rainy Monday it is definitely needed!
This one from your Postcards archive would be a sublime add:

Thanks for reminding me about that one! I have quite a lot of orange images that I remembered after I posted this gallery – oh, well, there will probably be another time 🙂
There’s always time for more orange!
Indeed 🙂
It certainly has brightened my day Jude, and I need it because, after being spoilt with weeks of clear sunny skies, a bit cool but the sun always makes it feel warmer, the last 2 days have turned to grey skies and drizzle. I really thought winter had gone.
Sounds like the weather here! Summer has suddenly disappeared, such a shame, I really enjoyed the sunny days and long light evenings. Oh, well, can hope for an Indian Summer I suppose 🙂
Pleased to report the sun is out again here… 🙂
Such a bright n chirpy collection!
Thanks HD 😀
