Orange you glad…

(Pair of tangerines. 2007.)

Osh over at Deaf Pagan Crossroads emailed me with a request for the color orange.  Here ya go, Osh.  Orange, in all its glory.  Well… maybe not all.  But some of its glory.

I don’t know why I put off orange for so long.  It’s not as if I hate the color or anything.  In fact, I’m quite fond of it, especially this time of year.  (To be honest, the real reason I put off orange was because it takes me a ridiculously long time to put these things together and I haven’t had much in the way of spare time now that I’m not forced to rest because of pain/illness.)

As I was going through my photographs looking for orange (a color that’s not at all difficult to spot!), I was surprised to find that orange likes to hang around with other colors more often than not.

Oh sure, it occasionally stands out all by itself…

But in most of my photos orange is buddying up to some other color or colors.

For the feet people

Why isn’t there a special name for the tops of your feet?

Well, you know, I had to do it.  I can’t go to the beach without including a post with my feet when I return.  Besides, it’s good for the hit count.  Heh.

I think I need a new pose, though.  This one is getting old.  It’s hard to tell one beach-feet photo from another.  I thought about trying to capture my feet in the water, but there are far too many good reasons to keep my camera away from the water.  (My natural klutziness is the #1 reason.)

For those not familiar with my feet, it all started here.
