Clyde, a six-week-old lab, chews on orange lilies. Even though he enjoyed biting the petals, he wasn't allowed to chew them, said Tribune photographer Carla Wensky, who took this photo.
A couple of orange echinaceas (cone flowers) from Rob Koelling's backyard inspired this shot. Not only are the flowers lovely, they're also tough. The orange pair "managed to survive Gus, the husky pup wrecking ball," Koelling said.
Suzanne Patterson sent this photo of her nieces, Cammi and Katelynn, with their "orange" hair. "I immediately think of them when I hear the word orange," she said.
Meghan LeCaptain of Virginia was visiting her grandparents, Joan and John Enger of Powell, when she noticed the orange hues of "Kid," a horse owned by Larry and Gloria Hedderman.
Willie Marcus took this photograph of upside down lilies that were blooming in Bruce Holmes' garden earlier this month.
Owl and his orange older "brother" Tigger don't exactly see eye to eye. Tigger live in Sheridan with Tribune photographer Kara Bacon's parents and Owl lives with her in Powell.
Orange flower petals inspired this shot, submitted by Dennis Hejduk and Jane Richardson of Powell.
These blooming orange flowers also were submitted by Dennis Hejduk and Jane Richardson.
Tribune reporter Gib Mathers took this photograph and wrote:
At first blush, the viewer might reckon they are traversing a mighty rugged ridge. Imagine finally seeing the skyline, then stopping, panting and gasping, “Phew, almost there. Thank goodness” OK, maybe the crafty cameraman is not so slick after all. Maybe, you, the keen beholder, saw right through my photographic subterfuge.
OK, I’ll fess-up: It is a boulder on Mountain View Street in Powell.
If my geology is correct it is a loose conglomerate of granite. The organic material is actually sagebrush growing in a crack. The photo assignment was “orange.” Looking far and wide, I finally and literally stumbled across the rock with moss the color of orange. The moss on this side is chiefly green, perfectly matching the sage, and the flint-like stones are redder than they are orange. On the other side is some moss that is indeed orange, but this side made for a cooler pic — I hope. Pick a side, any side. Look closely and the beauty of the stone is revealed. Kind of like stopping to smell the roses. Stop to savor the beauty that is often waiting right in your neighborhood or nearby.
