I am VERY late in posting this but I'm afraid my blog has been somewhat neglected over the last couple of weeks - they've been a bit tough and life has just got in the way somehow - sorry blog and my lovely new followers!
Anyways on to the subject of
the Gallery - week 77. The subject was colour and I knew I really, really wanted to join in as soon as I read Tara's post. I decided on the colour
ORANGE. I am not entirely sure why except that it is youngest daughters favourite colour (when it's not pink!) and I love the shades of orange you get in autumn and the orangey colours of a beautiful sunset. It's a happy colour (bit like youngest daughter really!)
So here goes - some pictures of
ORANGE - some are from the last week or so and some are from the more distant past - they have a vaguely garden theme - there are so many beautiful orange colours in nature.

If you are inspired by all the gorgeous colours in the Gallery this week then head on over to the UNICEF
own a colour website and you can buy your very own colour for a minimum donation of £1 per colour which all helps to raise money for vulnerable children across the world. You have a choice of a mind boggling 16.7 million shades of colour and it costs just £1.This will buy enough polio vaccines for 10 children and you can of course donate more.
I got so excited that I am now the proud owner of 3 colours -
Boo's Orange,
Flo's Pink and
Rollercoaster Red!
what beautiful photos :) I love the chinese lanterns! so pretty :)
