Welcome to September’s Monthly Color Challenge! This week, we’ll explore the various shades of peach and orange. You can share both or just one color.
Late summer brings with it a lot of peach and orange colors, whether found in a sunrise or sunset, a garden, or stunning views while on vacation.
Peach and Orange Blossom Special
This year’s garden shows off my peachy gladiolus…
…and bright orange dahlias.
“Orange is the happiest color.” ~ Frank Sinatra
Walking around my neighborhood on the 7th day of the week, I spied an orange sunflower.
This reminded me that I still have packets of seeds left from the various sunflower species I cultivated while living in Sacramento. Perhaps you remember these?
During our visit to the Woodburn Tulip Farm near Portland, Oregon, last April, these peachy tulips were terrific to discover.
Nature’s Breath-taking Oranges with Peaches & Cream
Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure to travel throughout the West and view jaw-dropping scenery like these depicted in these spectacular destination spots in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.
And how can I not include another view of Antelope Canyon?
After spending many summers in the Sacramento Delta, I have never seen a sunset I didn’t like. This one, with seven wind turbines, was captured in 2017.
“Meanwhile the sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom.” – Jack Kerouac
Closer to home, with help from my Painnt filter, even a mundane backyard looks pretty peachy.

“When Autumn sets the woods aglow, she paints with sunlight from her soul.” ~ Angie Weiland-Crosby
As always, I encourage double-dipping into other challenges. Marrying the various prompts together in one post creates more of a challenge, at least for me. I also encourage reviving previous images that fit the theme.
I can’t wait to see how you interpret the various shades of orange and peach in this week’s theme! Creativity is encouraged, so please share your own photographs (old or new), poems, original short stories, and music inspired by the theme. Join me next week as we explore “Autumn or Spring?”
Have a beautiful week!
