    I have a real sense that your garden would be a magical place to hang out! Look at the firey orange of those lilies and begonias! It makes me wish I could smell their fragrance. Great macro work!

    I didn't like orange, growing up, but lately I've liked it especially with reds nearby or mixed in. Must be a phase of life. :)

    Thanks for your comment at my blog...

    Those are ALL splendid! I love the color orange..summer bright, fall warmth. GOod job..wish I had an inch of that talent ;)

    The photo in my banner is a miniature oil on wood by the Canadian artist White circa 1850. It actually came in the house when we purchased it..beautiful gold thick shadow box frame...hiding in an obscure location. One man's junk is another man's treasure!

    I love the happiness of orange! One of my favourite shirts is burnt orange and makes me feel so good wearing it!

    Your fern painting reminds me of a beautiful bowl my dad gave me years ago...orange and red, with a hint of yellow...love the photographs too.

    Bonnie~ These are stunning and so vibrant!

    Love the mixed media 'Ceremonial Headress' one especially. I have two watercolour paintings on my art site that are titled: Ceremonial Coat of Wisdom and Ceremonial Dance. I love that you titled yours what you have. It fits so perfectly.

    and thank you for the lovely congratulations to me on my blog.

    Orange packs a punch doesn't it -giving us a bolt of energy and warmth...

    Happy days
