Oops, Orange Color Not Included
Oh, no! I just realized today that I had one extra color, which was orange in my entry for Capture The Colour contest. If not for Liz of Mirth and Motivation, I wouldn’t have known. So, I went back to the post and counted the images and it was 6 instead of 5. Looks like my son can count better than I do. Clearly a first grader is smarter than me. Embarrassing! My apology for the bloggers I nominated. I worked on it past midnight and my eyes were probably blurry and my brain, obviously tired. I guess that makes me disqualified? In a way, I already got my prize, “You” and every reader who enjoyed my entry. Thank you and once again, my apologies. Since I’m already into the orange color mode, might as well celebrate it with a bang!
Here’s a few of my orange laden memories…
Orange shirt with matching orange crocs at Galveston Seawall.
Orange crocs meets mother blue crab and her baby crab.
Orange T-Rex. He looks mad. Must be the intense heat of Summer.
Orange pumpkins and Halloween, a thrilling and fun combination.
Meet Jack-O-Lantern. We made it last Halloween of 2011. His smile reminds me that during my “Oops” moments, the best reaction is to smile and laugh. After all, smiling swells the heart and laughter is the best medicine there is.
Soon its Autumn and orange color will rule in the most beautiful and exciting way. Perhaps my “Oops” moment has a purpose after all. Can’t argue with destiny or is it my tired brain talking once again? I should be alert at 12:56 in the afternoon. Oh, well…

Orange is such a vibrant color. What’s not to like about it? Thank you. The crabs must have thought the orange crocs were some alien invasion or something from their vantage point.

I felt bad for the baby crab. It did look scared and the mother crab was wrapping her claws to protect it. I didn’t know they do that. I never ate a blue crab after that. Thanks.
