orange distraction

I couldn't believe it when I saw that this week's theme was "orange".
I was away all week long at The John Campbell Folk School studying metalsmithing (what an incredible experience it was). The camp is located in the town of Brasstown surrounded by the mountains of NC. A beautiful area with photo opportunities at every glance. Needless to say, I came back with a lot of photos this week. And I had lots of orange - I had photos of orange autumn leaves, orange flowers, bright orange yarns, orange tin roofs, orange copper in my ring, orange in the rich wood of a dulcimer, a fanciful orange fall costume, the orange glow of the studio lights at night, orange sun spots in the morning dew... But I have to say there was one orange that got in my way. One that was placed just for that reason - to stand out - to keep you out. This orange disrupted many of my photos this week. The camp was in the process of preparing for the big Fall Festival so they had long ORANGE boundary fences up to mark off the parking areas. Everywhere I turned my lens for a beautiful scenic shot there was that ORANGE fence. It was distracting from the beauty of the land. Guess I'll just have to go back again and take more classes and more photos. I do plan on it.
