At Rainbow Connections, this week's color is really two...

Orange and black, to be exact...

So any photo you submit...

Must have both, for it to fit...

So open your eyes...

And be on the lookout...

Just remember -- your entries must have orange and black...

Even if it's just a speck.

Now is the time - look up...

Look down...

It's almost Halloween! Look all around!

At the end of the week, we'll see what you've found!

I can't wait!

(If you haven't already, come join the fun at Rainbow Connections!)

What a great idea, now we should do wonderfully at finding photos this time of the year with this color combination.

Oh, good color choices! :)

I love your photos here.. especially the leaf ones! (No surprise, right??) The one with the sun coming through the tree is my favorite.

Your photoshopped images are wonderful! And I enjoy them, too - that's why I do a special award just for them.

Hope you can be out and about again soon!

Thank you for the nice comment you left on my fairy door pic. I haven't been around much, but I'll try to spend more time here. I missed your group.

Now I just have to find orange and black. I wonder what made you pick those colors!

Wow, very nice.

Sherrie H. Oct 28, 2008, 5:23pm EDT

No problem, R B. The albums are new to everyone and we'll all have to figure out what works... and what doesn't... together. Hey - maybe we should do black and blue some week. Or is that too maudlin?
