color your world :: orange

Posted on October 3, 2012
I used to think orange was not for me. I don’t know why I didn’t like it but I just didn’t. I wonder, though, if your taste in color changes every seven years like your taste buds, because sometime in the last several years, I’ve come to like orange.

Last week the kids and I went to the Botanical Gardens to do home schooling. Talk about a learning adventure! And the orange. Oh, my goodness. It was everywhere. I’ve gone out on many an occasion taking nature photos, so I tried to give myself a little challenge this time. In the bright African middle of the day sun, I tried to use it to my advantage rather than complain about its harshness. It really is amazing how changing the angle of your shot can really change the effect.

    I used to not like orange either, but it's all over my house now! And I've been drawn to rust colored clothes lately as well!
