Consider The Lilies
Posted on October 17, 2021
These orange lilies were a gift from a friend. Not only are they very orange, but there is also a little piece of light green peeping between the leaves.
Down By The Creek

Shrouded in an orange tarpaulin, this cargo waits to be loaded onto a dhow in Dubai Creek.
The Poppies Are Back
Posted on June 2, 2021
A couple of years ago, we (which is to say Madame) sowed a pack of wild flower seeds at the back of the house. Included in the mix were some orange poppies and they just won’t quit.
‘Floating’ Poppy
Posted on March 11, 2021
A bit of bokeh and a judicious angle makes this orange poppy appear to be floating in mid-air.
The Hungry Grasshopper

This little grasshopper helps the natural order of things by feeding from an orange poppy.
The Eyes Have It
Posted on March 27, 2020
Cee’s topic this week is birds. As selective colour is permitted – and, I think, really works in this case – here is an owl (I’m afraid I cannot remember what kind).
The plumage is black and white in any case, so all I had to do was desaturate the greens in the background. Those orange irises are really very striking.
The orange boat
Posted on March 17, 2020
Judy at Lifelessons has had the brilliant idea of posting the last image from either your SD card or phone. As she says, it’s something to pass the time while we’re all in solitary confinement in isolation.
This, from my iPhone, is one of the model boats (pleasingly, the other is blue) that one of our neighbours floats onto the pond at the centre of our little hameau when the water level permits. As it’s rained more or less constantly since September, that is no constraint.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Glow
Posted on October 18, 2017
Although I’ve had to raid my existing WordPress media library for this week’s challenge (as I currently do not have access to all my images), I think that this sunset over Beverley, in East Yorkshire, not only meets the theme of ‘Glow’ but is worth seeing again.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Orange
Posted on March 7, 2015
This week’s challenge asks us to feature the colour orange in a gallery. Ours not to reason why, so here are three images heavy on the orange:
1) A spectacular sunset over Beverley in Yorkshire
2) Part of the innards of a vintage tractor, taken at the display of old-time cars and agricultural machinery in Lesterps
3) All I know about this is that it’s a flower and I took the photograph in Abu Dhabi. Anybody know what it is?
(Incidentally, apart from some cropping of the second and third, there’s been no post-processing of any of these images. Which is unusual for me.)
