All of August I will be posting pictures of the beautiful flowers from the neighbourhood park. For your daily dose of flowers, do look up my blog Trees, plants & more. :)
Although we no longer post our images here on this blog, we have continued to leave the photos for you to be inspired by.

G can be nothing but German Shepherd to me
add a Golden Retriever and this is what might emerge

25-30 years ago I cut a huge number of silhouettes in paper. First using designs in books later looking around for inspiration and doing my own thing. Recently by chance I came across a blog of a lady who cuts the most intricate silhouettes and my jaw dropped: http://www.ruralpearl.com/ However seeing this I got inspired to return to silhouettes although not in paper but in fabric. So far I have only been drawing on the computer.

Letter - G
Lots of good ideas, work and photos lately. I have been looking, honest! My last teaching session for the summer is on Monday evening, so I may finally get a chance to comment.
The prompt for the rest of July is for things having to do with the Letter G. When you compose your post, it would be great if you could choose G for the label box before clicking on publish. If you click on Show All, next to the labels box, you can select the right label for the prompt you are responding to. (I'd like to keep the labels relevant to the prompts, though, so please don't add new ones.)
We also recently had gold for inspiration, you could look there to get a start or to see how you might want to go in a completely different direction.

Orange
I never thought much of orange as a color until I started to be more serious about taking photos. Now I realize how wonderful it is -- the plainest shape and the most ordinary object becomes special if it's orange.

Orange
You can have this
but I prefer this
This is not the same photograph but it has just inspired me to go and see what I can do about that building.
That's better.

Fiery orange chilli peppers
I love chilli peppers in and with almost anything; salads, ice cream, traditional chilli con whatever so I simply could not have anything but chilli peppers for this challenge. On top of that they go so well with this piece of batik I have in my stash.
Enjoy the picture (and am I not the privileged one? I get to eat them!)

BTW as usual I have problems on/off commenting so Thank You to everybody for sharing their inspirational pictures, photos and work. I enjoy very much checking the blog.

Orange Mushroom
These mushrooms pop up only in one of my flower beds and only when we have lots of rain. This is now the second year that I've had them and they always get comments.

rusty building
A photo I took when visiting my sis-in-law in Leeds of a recently constructed rusty building.
Apparently it is called Corten Cladding. They sprayed some sort of chemical on the surface of the building and before long it had turned rusty, looking like it had been there forever.
Fiery Orange
The colour for July is orange. A few of the teal/turquoise photos showed some orange and rust as well. And, as we are finally getting some warm weather here in the UK, it is a bit easier to look at some warm colours.
What oranges - fiery or otherwise - inspire you?
