A while ago I visited The Hanging Garden where I left a comment on a wonderful little post regarding the colour white. Being the scatter brain that I am I completely forgot about it. That happens more often than I’d like; there are days when I go on commenting splurges and it can be hard to keep note of where I’ve been. Anyway, this instance was a little different because by leaving a comment I was entering into a quirky wee challenge.
You see the lovely Byrony set me the task of finding ten orange things I love, just as she herself had done with shades of white. I only today returned to find what colour I’d been given, and at first I thought orange would be a tough one. When I sat down, though, and put my thinking cap on I realised that it’s a great colour! So here you have it, rather later than planned, ten images of orangey loveliness. Oh, and in the spirit of things, leave a comment if you want to be assigned your own colour!

What a fun wee challenge! ^-^
I breathlessly await your color choice! =D
Your poker nights sound like they were a blast! I'm excited to have something fun & relaxing to do with people every other week.
Yes, absinthe tends to lead to doing other things than what one set out to do... lol... ^-^
Hope you & your friends are able to get together sooner than xmas & I hope you all have a ton of fun. ^-^
Yipee! I think for you the colour just has to be green. Enjoy your teaparty today and I look forward to seeing what green loveliness you come up with!
I'm very happy the Orange Order aren't on your list.
lol How could I have forgotten to include them? I will say this- I do enjoy the aul pipe bands. But no, the Order aren't exactly my cup of tea :) Do you want a colour? I think I'll give you blue because it matches your page. I notice you don't use many pictures on your blog, but you could still make a list of your top ten blue things. Only if you like.
A pleasure to meet you Roisin...I just had to pop in to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your thoughts tonight and plan to follow a couple of your links before I turn out the last lamplight of the day.
Lately, rainbows have been over the horizon in my corner of the woods, so I am delighted to see you are calling it's colors!
love, Rose
This is such a great idea. It really makes you stop and think about what you find beautiful in this world. I love the ginger cat and the fox.
Rose- A pleasure to meet you too, and thanks for stopping by! I love your blogs, so much fairy beauty to be found on both :) If you want to play along then I think I'll have to give you red for our namesake (Roisin's the Gaelic for Rose).
Megan- Hi there! I agree- about the cat and fox, and about it being a great idea. I never realised there were so many orange things I loved until Byrony gave me the colour. I found it hard narrowing it down to ten! Would you like a colour? How does yellow sound?
Wonderful choices!
Thank you for playing :)
No Marco Van Basten of Johan Cryuff??? For shame :-)
Declan, my name's not Barry. If you want a colour then you can have orange- that way you can just put up the Ajax team of '95 (most of them were Dutch, right?).
lovely post! happy to find your blog, it's darling.
