Mandarin Orange Monday 93 - Rajasthani Dancers in Orange - May 12, 2014



During my first visit to Jaipur, a dear forensic nurse colleague and friend, Virginia
Lynch, and I ended our stay with dinner at a restaurant called Indiana.  It was a 
delightful evening with delicious food and an amazing show.  We had the best
table in the house, front and center, and watched mesmerized, as the women 
whirled, slowly at first, then more rapidly, as the tempo increased, balancing
various pots on their heads, including a grand finale with a metal urn set aflame.
I was dizzy just from watching.

While their dresses were a beautiful and varied array of colors, this one of orange
was perfect for today's theme.  What wonderful memories looking at these 
photographs brought back.

Alphabe-Thursday's Rainbow Summer School, Rainbow Orange, August 5, 2010



Alphabe-Thursday's Rainbow Summer School, Rainbow Orange, August 5, 2010


For some reason, folks seem to be having trouble with the color orange.  I looked
through my clothes closet and I have very little in that color though I do love tropical
colors.  My wardrobe certainly boasts a lot of cruise clothes in hot pinks, purple and
turquoise but orange is definitelymissing.  I love oranges, apricots, and other orange
fruits, mmmm, and especially, mangoes and papayas, those rank at the top and they
are lovely and orange.

Pumpkin, too, is one of the great orange fruits.  I can smell pumpkin pie baking in
the oven though Halloween is still far way...and pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies,
pumpkin bread.  Just the other day, I had some overripe bananas and made a
wonderful pumpkin banana bread.  The aroma had everyone hovering outside the
oven with cries of "Is it done yet?"

So many of the remarkable sunrises and sunsets of my life - and I have been so blessed
to see them from islands and countries all over the globe - have been tinged with hues of orange.  They are a heavenly palette that man is hard pressed to duplicate.

I don't have any orange pictures in my files except flowers so I thought I would put those
up for you to see.
