The warmth of orange helps to keep the chill at bay and so I present to you some orange-themed photographs. The first is a bright morning sky as seen from my bedroom window:
Next come three flowers. The first is one of many more aloes likely to be shown here as the flowering season gets underway:
Deep orange Cape honeysuckle flowers are out already, brightening up gardens, hedges and the open veld:
The golden shower creepers are also showing buds and will soon provide cascades of orange too:
The colouring of the eyes of the Red-billed Oxpecker fits into this theme – just:
Lastly, here is a little boy’s dream:

My dream too, but it must be a red one!

Red seems to be the ‘right’ colour for them.

That would have been my dream too in times gone by but now like Sophie Tucker, I favour comfort over speed.

I agree wholeheartedly. Where we live, it is also important to have a high clearance vehicle so this one would never do.

Love the little one standing on his toes trying to get a peak of the inside of that car!
Is he one of your grandkids, Anne?
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

What a fine selection of orange. For some reason, I am really drawn to the bird’s eye. I suppose it’s because I’ve never seen a bird before with an orange eye.

I find the eyes of these birds fascinating.I wonder if you also noticed that its beak is full of ticks it has collected off some animal.

The honeysuckle and the creepers are lovely as is the shot of the little fellow. A cheering post!

Our days – and especially our nights – are becoming cooler and so an injection of orange provided me with warm cheer. I am pleased you like the selection.

Well how clever you are with all the orange-themed items. Mother Nature sure outdid herself with the orange sunrise sky and those orange flowers.

I enjoy the fact that many of our autumn-winter wild flowers are in the range of orange and yellow – just right to cheer one up in the colder weather!

Yes, it is amazing how a touch of color after a long Winter is so cheery. All the Spring flowers popped out during an exceptionally warm spell and then were promptly covered with snow a few days later. We are in the last day of a nine-day exceptionally chilly period of weather. They say it is now gone until Fall.
