orange

Lately I've been embracing the midday sun and exploring ways to capture the feeling of a hot summer day. I love the way this orange slice transforms into stained glass art when held up to the sky. And as I play along with color month here at Shutter Sisters, I've been reminded of my days in art school spent studying the color wheel. What's across from orange on the color wheel (in other words, its complimentary color)? It's blue! A match made in heaven.

Please share your pure orange photos with us today. Keep in mind that tomorrow's color is yellow orange, so save those shots until then!

Don't forget to add your photo to the the OWP pool on Flickr or on instagram and tag it #sscolormonth! Remember that by playing along, you are automatically registered for a chance to win an Epiphanie camera bag!

I love the color orange, it's such a happy color.

My friend gave me these daisies to celebrate my birth day, on the day my oldest son turned 12.

This month of looking at color is so fun for me. One of the reasons I joined Pinterest was to make color boards to view for myself. I know I am not the best photographer but thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and taking time to view everyone else's.
