Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for orange. One of the most vibrant colours, orange is zingy and fresh. It’s a warm colour, friendly and inviting. Soft at dawn, but louder at sunset. From the palest of peaches and apricots through to copper, rust, salmon-pink and terracotta, the range of orange shades in the natural world is phenomenal.

Colour possesses me.
It will always possess me.
That is the meaning
Of this happy hour:
colour and I are one.”

~ Paul Klee

Where can you discover orange?

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.

  1. Yay! A happy colour! And great for autumn. I’ve just eaten a sandwich with carrot in it which might have worked rather well, but it’s gone now. Having a good Sunday?

    1. Sunshine and too many showers and still too many bulbs to plant. I may have to use the spidery shed! 🕷️🕸️🕷️

  2. A lovely warming colour to choose! I’m especially drawn to the beautiful ginger cat. 🙂

      1. We had two lovely ginger cats when I was growing up – they gave me a lifelong love of cats. Such sweet and friendly playmates!

        1. My Ellie is like that she does have a voice really – especially when in the car going to the vet but she hardly ever meows otherwise. On the very odd occasion that she has meowed in her 14 years, it’s been a real surprise. And another lovely cat used to make excited squeaks instead of meowing properly.

        2. It is odd! Hagar (my squeaky one) could make plenty of noise if he wanted to – he would make a weird yowl when he wanted me to come and play with him. (Sometimes he was telling me that he’d stolen a cat toy from a neighbouring garden and was all pleased with himself! He did have lots of toys of his own, including similar to the stolen ones. 🙂 )

        3. Hagars are evidently the best cats! (But Hagar the Hairy, not Hagar the Horrible…hehe!)
