Such a sharp in focus photo! I must admit I love orange! I used to dislike it then one day I mentioned my dislike to my son who was wearing a so orange shirt. He told me told me it was his favorite color because it was not used that often and was memorable. And it is! LOL I then started noticing it more and liking it much more. It is interesting in the garden too for it so gives such added oomph to purples and lime greens in the garden and even when it stands alone it creates a buzz.
