Ooodles of Orange for Orange Ya Glad and Color Carnival

Welcome to Orange You Glad hosted by the delightful Yaya, and The Color Carnival hosted by the equally delightful, Martha@Menagerie.
Orange is such a happy color, and it also signals Wintertime in Los Angeles as seen on this tree by the entrance of the Community Magnet School in Bel Air, California.
The school was a veritable Orange Festival with this map painted on the school courtyard entry.
Here's a very colorful mural on a school building.
Laugh is a most favorite word of mine too, especially when it's on an Orange Bench!

This is the aptly named Fire Agave plant in bloom. I will call it the Yaya plant in honor of her redhead temper.

Wishing you many Happy Colors to you and yours.

I love the Fire Agave! Too bad it would die immediately in my climate.

Very pretty pictures, as usual...

There is a severe lack of Orange in Seattle. Especially this time of year. It's such a great color!! I think the cheddar cheese in my fridge is the closest I can get :)

What a wonderful array of COLORFUL images you found to shared! Methinks I'd love to sit on that bench and laugh ... perhaps while taking in the gorgeous view of that colorful piece of wall grafitti if possible. Just lovely ;-)
Hugs and blessings,

I also love the bench!

Dimple sent me over to see your bench. I love it! It is such a pretty style and bright color and the words are perfect on it! I would sit on that bench frequently if it was near me!

I collect photos of benches and have a whole blog -- well two blogs now -- filled with benches I have run across. I also have a friend in France that has a bench blog or two. . . we both are in love with benches so I shall tell her about your bench too. I am sure she is going to love it! If you want to check it out, you will find it at:

Just the punch of color I needed this morning... it is gray and raining buckets in Seattle this morning. Thanks for sharing!

Randi Troxell said...

i love that mural.. so pretty!

Leslie said...

Love the colors! I hear that you are are having some beautiful weather there in Southern CA this week. I've been tempted to ditch all responsibilities, jump in the car and head out that way. Fifty degrees is too cold for me. I need some 70's temps to get me through this winter!

Much better than pink, thanks for putting some sunshine into my day.

Martha said...

Very cool Martha! Thanks for playing :-)

I am so delighted that orange signals winter where you live. Really, it's more white where I am. . .
