Orange Love

March 19, 2013

20130319-083221.jpg I was so struck by the strong visual of the color orange on the ‘Grace’ book I wrote about yesterday. Orange can be such a revitalizing color. I scrolled through my photos and kept stopping at all the variations of orange. The above roses a host gift brought to us the other night when we had folks to dinner. Loving the varying hues of fluttery orange.

Cheers to happy orange in whatever shade, shape or form it takes!
