I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  2. Good selection of oranges Jude. I like the red squirrel too. I don’t recall ever having seen one in the flesh, only greys.
    Regards as always, Pete. x

    1. He’s from Scotland Pete. First one I have seen too. I have so many orange photos it was difficult to select just a few. Glad you like them 🙂

  5. Definitely brightened my day! You’ve chosen such a variety of images, and I get the feeling that you could have chosen from hundreds of others. I’m curious about how you curate your photos – mine are a dog’s (or twins) breakfast. Tracking down images for a challenge would be a major undertaking. Just lucky with orange.

    1. I keep thinking of others I could have used. My photos are just filed in folders Meg. No keywords or anything like that to search on so I just rely on memory to look in a folder where I think a suitable image can be found. My mission is to sort out our digital photos and just keep the best 50 or so from each place. But I have been doing this since 2008 and I don’t seem too get any further!

      1. At least you go back to them. I don’t know that I ever do. I’m trying to reduce my current 2000 from my recent three months away before I transfer to pc. I’ve got to learn to trash trashy twin ones. Trash not such a problem elsewhere!

  8. How can orange not brighten up your day.
    The colour orange was named after the fruit? I’ve learned something this morning. I thought some unimaginative botanist had named the fruit after the colour. 🙂

    1. I’m really just a happy snapper Sue 🙂 Apart from flowers (of which I have millions) I hadn’t realised just how many orange photos I have until looking through the digital shoebox for inspiration.
