Bit O Orange

We've been doing autumn colour here recently, and I was hoping to see more on our recent stroll along the trail bridge. Disappointment awaited, but I found a few small spots. Orange was the colour of the day.



Sue was also impressed with the orange leaves.


Even our shadows from the bridge landed in orange, but that colouring required a little help from your beloved photo editor to bring out the desired colour. 😉


This delightful car was waiting beside ours when we were done walking. What a delight: a vintage VW Beetle! There was a sticker indicating that it had been connected with a tour of Brasil.


I tried changing the colour to orange, but it seemed a tad sacrilegious to interfere with this little beauty. 😇

Such deep oranges! The car reminds me of the one when I was first married. Loved it.

On a family visit to Ontario we tootled about in a red VW like this one.

The white interior was also immaculate.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Beetle.

It's like riding in an airtight tin can.

I envy people/places with deciduous trees this time of year, so beautiful!

It’s a short but appreciated season. Too soon we’ll be settling in for the winter.

Nice oranges, but that red Bug is astounding! I had 1 and a Super Bug and a VW bus. Never seen a bug with the luggage rack on the back. Wouldn't want to block those air intake slots. Linda in Kansas

It looked newer than new. Very impressive.

I haven't seen a Bug in a long time! Orange is my favorite autumn color--so bright and luminous.

I had a Beetle in the early 70s! Not only do the colors shine, so does Sue.

Orange is a great fall color, just ask any pumpkin! Or maybe Jack-o-lantern ! I rode with a friend in the 80's in her old VW bug, but the floor on my side was rusted out, so I could see the road going by as we traveled. Never had much faith in them actually. But a trip in a VW camper van was kind of fun.

Anvilcloud said...

I prefer it to yellow. Every now and then we see red.

Anvilcloud said...

The camper sounds like fun The rusted floor, not so much.

I had a Beetle where the floor rusted out. Ah, but I loved it. I am giggling a bit because our camera group has 'orange' for one of our assignments this month. I think, though, that I am going with pumpkins. A good excuse to make Jack-o-Lanterns.

The car is in deed a beauty

Love the shot of shadows on the water! Original and creative!

Wow! That is indeed a beautiful 1967 VW Beetle!!!!! I was really into Beetles for about 30 years, and memorized the minutia differences year-to-year, so I can recognize each year fairly easily! Makes me wish for my old 1965 I fixed up. So cool!

At this time of year we'll take any color. Most of the leaves have dropped here.
