True Colours Thursday - Cream

It's been rainy and now cold, so again rely on older pictures. It's only 32 degrees this morning, so enjoyed seeing this lovely flower from the summer. Oh how I miss those warm temps.
And from Thanksgivings past, this lovely bowl of mashed potatoes fills the creamy bill in both color and texture.

This curious lamb has a bit of the cream, as well.

...and the background on this seal found on the wall behind the Judge's bench is a bit creamy.

True Colours Thursday - Orange

I haven't been out to get any new pictures for today, I've dug into my archives. Below is a very HOT pepper from my Bro O's garden. He really likes to get people to try his peppers by saying, "Oh, they're not hot." Never trust him when he says this! I've learned my lesson the hard way. I'm not sure anyone can grow them hotter.

Below is a zinnia from Sister-in-law's flower garden. It's nice to remember the warmth of summer on a day when we are to have something called 'snow showers'. I'm not sure what that is, but believe it is snow mixed with rain. Whatever, it doesn't sound warm.

Below are Jack-O-Lanterns carved from pumpkins Hubby grew for the grands.

The football team from Hubby's school have nice orange helmets.

But my favorite is remembering the beautiful Monarch Butterflies enjoying my Butterfly Bush.

Monochrome Weekly Theme - Courthouse Lobby

There are odd happenings in this building which occur mostly after hours, but sometimes during the day. I've seen and heard them. I don't like being in there all alone.

Camera Critters - The Wolf

Yet another reason to visit Wildlife Prairie Park. Of course he was contained, otherwise I wouldn't have been this close.

True Colours Thursday - Lapis

When I think of Lapis, I think of jewelry. Sadly, I don't have any, and due to my not feeling well the past few days, I have been reduced to looking through my picture files. I came up with this pretty blue flower from last summer.

And doesn't Gertie look pretty in her head scarf?

This is a shot of Bro O's pond taken last summer, as well. I think the water may be close to Lapis.

And then there is the bright blue on the bow. She is a cheerleader for Hubby's school. I think I might be early on orange here, too.

Miss Snickers is struggling mightily
Along with her family.
(The best place to keep up with updates is her Gussie’s blog.)
Last night looked as if it might have been her last.
This morning she rebounded with improved symptoms.
She is far from out of the woods
But she and her family
Including her gentle and loving brother Butchy
Have been granted another day.
We can’t help but believe

The support and love that have surrounded her
From all around the world

You choose.

Mewing

whatever is in your hearts
That will help them feel the Love and Support
They need right now.
Personally, we’ll be praying for a Miracle.
Then
Blow a Kiss
and send your Love and Prayers and Best Wishes
to Miss Snickers and her Family
and they will feel their arrival in the breeze.
OK?
We believe it will help.
And we'll do anything in our power right now to."

True Colours Thursday - Violet

Violet is not an easy color for me, so was surprised to find my three offerings all in one place. Last weekend's visit to Wildlife Prairie State Park proved fruitful. There is this violet on a cap.

And this sign advertising their restaurant, which was more of a snack bar.

And the gift shop window had a nice violet scarf topped with these violet flowers. Sadly, there isn't a house.
