it is not a colour I like to wear but love to look at …nature offers such beauty in orange, autumn colours, pumpkins, sunsets:) Thanks Blue, glad you like this too:)

Well, I really don’t like orange at all–so that’s why I was especially warmed and appreciative of what you did with it! Sometimes it takes looking at things with someone else’s eyes!

Me too, thanks…it came to me when I was visualizing one orange I have left and can’t wait to eat:)

Great pun in “zest for life” — and the bleeding orange sun is so interesting. I feel that fascination with the sinking / setting sun too. 🙂

Thanks, Paloma, I am a bit obsessed with sunsets and in the spring I will finally be able to get back on the roof to take photos on my break…in the meantime I have to find some places since I am no longer with a vehicle. Another thing to put on my To Do list.

Weren’t the November sunsets awesome? The best sunsets of the year, imho.LikeLike

The thing about haiku and renga when you keep playing with words, so many others come to mind…okay, I have to start taking those lessons with Jane’s book…I thought there was also a Kindle copy…I just bought a Kindle and a month ago a new Kobo to replace the one I smashed.

Hmmm….. not sure about the Kindle copy, but I do know there are online programs to convert PDF to ePub and other formats. Most kindles will open PDF but occasionally the Kindle will mess up the formatting a bit.

Ah, I got it wrong — it’s mobi for Kindle. I used this program before and it worked pretty well:

Love the these haiku – the simplicity of the last one made we want to eat an organge but, alas, I am allergic to them. 🙂

Are you really? there are so many other fruits that are good…organge is not my favourite although it is popular.

You do wonders with the Orange, Cheryl. 🙂
The first set is elegant, my vote goes to the simple ‘Orange Zest.’

And a wonderful New Year to you and yours.
I did manage to capture a beautiful sunset in the Florida Keys while we were there.
I might just make a poster out of it and hang it in my home.
On the way to the airport last week the sunset was just spectacular.
The angle of the sun had the clouds in the sky various shades of neon pinks.
I wonder if they get the name for a blood orange from such a sunset 🙂
