Exploring Orange~

Colors of the Rainbow

In this photograph I captured the snare drum that hangs on our wall. It is not just a drum, it is an object filled with memories. Memories that date back three generations. This is a drum used by my father-in-law, later by my husband and now by our son. When I look at this drum I can still see our Little Man sitting in the floor around the age of two, creating his first rhythm. The color orange also has many meanings. The few I see here in this photograph are energy, wisdom, thoughtful, controlled. and creativity. ~Catherine Anne

There is something about that certain time of day, the time which the sun casts its warm orange glow on all that it touches.  Not only does it warm my skin, but it energizes my soul.  It encourages me to start my day off with happiness, and in the evening, to revel on the days events and to re-center myself for what its warm blaze will bring in it's morning light.  It reminds me that each day I wake with the certainty of the unknown memories that are bound to occur in it's revered light. ~ Leah Garland
