Orange

I bought these beautiful mums to grace my front steps. I love their rusty orange tones. It's rainy and dark today, but luckily I took a picture of them yesterday when the "golden hour" sun brought out the best of their color.

Continuing my week of rainbow colors in show of support for Nicole Campbell and her Rainbow Challenge for the month of October.

Ann this is beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!

[Sally Ings]

Gorgeous colours and love the tight blooms. Mums are really quite an underrated plant yet they are so versatile!

[Phil]

Love all those colours.

[Dione Giorgio]

So spectacular! Great shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@salza Thanks Sally! They are quite popular around here because they can survive a light frost which is always possible before November rolls around.
@filsie65 Thanks Phil! I ended up with two beautiful plants this year- lots of blossoms have bloomed and there's still more to go.
@sangwann Thank you Dione!

[AutomaticSlim]

It does look very painterly.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@automaticslim lol I do turn them into paintings sometimes, but this one is sooc.

[Bev]

Beautiful shot! The texture and the detail are perfect! Nice job!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev!

[PamSnaps1]

[summerfield]

ooops, i remember commenting on this but i probably forgot to click on 'post comment'. :-) i love this colour in mums. to me it seems more of a happy colour than the bright reds and yellows. very nice.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield thanks Vikki! They were the right color to get this fall. They really cheer up the front steps!

[Carole Imes]

I have missed your clever rainbow shots while away and am enjoying all of them so much. Beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cimes1 Thanks Carole. I decided to do Nicole's challenge for just the first week. Dixie continued the Same September challenge on into October so I told her I'd keep Little Piggy around for a while longer on Tuesdays (same subject). Somehow I was tagged for the Artist Challenge, so I'm posting a few entries for that and lastly the Dickensofachallege sounded fun so I did one for that. But after the last Artist Challenge picture is posted, I am just shooting whatever I want for the rest of the month in my second album! I think I'm in challenge burn-out/overload mode right now and need a break! lol
