Hearing 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover -- Paul Simon
Consider Orange. It's a fine color, but of all the colors in our cultural spectrum, it's the one that seems to get the least respect -- sure, you wear it for a safety vest, but you're not especially likely to wear it to fancy ball (especially if you're a guy). So this week's Photo Shoot is about giving up a little respect for the color:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Picture something in orange. As a challenge, don't take pictures of actual oranges (the fruit), and picturing actual pumpkins seems a little too easy too. Other than that, go for it.
Mine:
This is a plant Athena and Krissy planted in the front garden just yesterday (you can see the whole set of photos for that here), and I think it's awfully pretty. Of course, I'm not entirely sure which kind of flower it is -- looks like a daisy of some sort to me. But I admit I'm ignorant. But I do like the orange, especially in contrast to the deep greens and browns.
You're up: Go orange! Then post the picture in your blog or journal, and come back here to leave a link. Remember you have until about Thursday noon to get your pictures in. Have fun.

I've got an unusual selection of ORANGE stuff ... tho, it's rather normal in my life.
