Photo Challenge: What's Your Favorite Color?

Time for a new Brenda Photo Challenge! The theme is What’s Your Favorite Color? Our current challenge hostess, Miz Donna of Made in Heaven, picked the theme. Thank you, Donna!

There really is NO WAY that I can pick just one favorite color. I love them all! Well, OK. I am not wild about orange, despite it being the distinguishing team color for the University of Tennessee. Shame on me, LOL.

But back to the photo challenge! This time of year, I am marveling about the many shades of GREEN that are beginning to show throughout the countryside. And I took some flower pictures last week in the Smoky Mountains which help to showcase this signature color of the spring season.

The lacy foliage of Dutchman’s breeches is a perfect complement to its delicate blooms.

And the fern-like foliage of false Solomon’s-seal makes itself at home in the Smoky Mountain woodlands.

  10. What beautiful spring plants. Sure brings back some memories.

    Like you, sometimes I thought I didn't like orange especially...but then I would see clumps of wild daylilies, or kumquats clustered along a branch, or fat pumpkins on porches in fall -- and realized that orange definitely has its place!!!

    But green shades are some of my all-time favorites, too...
