After a couple of dank and dreary days, it was absolutely beautiful today with #sunshine all day. Great light conditions for a few quick #photographs.
I photographed these trees a few days ago and if you compare them now, they're definitely more #yellow and #orange than before.
From where I park my #bicycle to my office is a short stroll through an #arboretum and it's nice to walk among some #vegetation and #trees, rather than grey concrete and tarmac.
Apropos nothing but the moist #weather of late, this #snail had managed to climb to the top of the door of the porch between the time I departed and returned home.
4th Day of #Navratri: Colour - #Orange
The color orange is emblematic of life and enthusiasm. It reflects the spirit of optimism and energy that characterizes this day of worship. Devotees are encouraged to wear orange as a way to invite the blessings of #Maa #Kushmanda into their lives. This vibrant hue not only enhances the festive atmosphere but also symbolizes the warmth and vitality associated with the goddess.
Rituals and Offerings
Devotees typically prepare offerings using orange-colored fruits and dishes, such as petha (a type of pumpkin sweet), which is particularly favored by Maa Kushmanda. The puja rituals include:
Starting with a bath followed by meditation.
Offering items like red clothes, red flowers, vermilion, five dry fruits (Panchmeva), sacred food (Naivedya), and adornments.
Reciting her mantra: “Om Devi Kushmandayai Namah” throughout the ritual.
Concluding with the recitation of the #Durga #Chalisa and performing an aarti using ghee or camphor lamps
#MaaKushmanda
Maa Kushmanda is revered as the creator of the #universe, believed to have brought light and #energy into a previously dark #cosmos with her radiant smile. She is depicted with #eight arms, holding various symbolic items such as a lotus, a mace (gada), a discus (chakra), and a pot of #nectar (amrita) among others. Her name derives from #Sanskrit, where "Ku" means "a little," "Ushma" signifies "warmth," and "Anda" refers to the "cosmic egg".
Worshiping Maa Kushmanda is said to bring blessings of health, vitality, and positivity to her devotees, while also providing strength to overcome challenges. The rituals performed on this day are believed to invoke her nurturing energy and cosmic balance.
Orange (Day 4): Associated with the Kushmanda goddess, orange represents warmth and enthusiasm. She infuses creativity and positivity into the celebration.
As #summer is coming to and we're heading towards #autumn, the #garden is bearing some #fruit which add #colour to the surroundings.
This #squash is about 25 cm long and has turned a very nice #orange #hue.
These #green #grapes are nearly ripe and the #Vine #Leaves are also used in #cooking.
These #blackberries are at various stages of ripeness.
Here are some #cattle resting in the garden. Just kidding! That's from my recent trip to #Dartmoor and have nothing to do with me except that I photographed them.
#AURORAS SHOULD NOT BE ORANGE (BUT THEY ARE): During this week's severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm, Tony Bendele of Pennsylvania saw something rare and a little mysterious. "Orange auroras!" he says. "Yes, #Orange. I had never seen this color in auroras before." He took this picture before sunrise on Aug. 12th:
"At first, I thought something was wrong, so I checked this image numerous times. The color orange is really there," he says.
What's so mysterious about orange? Auroras get their colors from specific atoms and molecules in Earth’s atmosphere. For instance, green is due to oxygen, while pink comes from nitrogen. The problem is, there’s nothing in the air capable of making bright orange.
Theoretically, nitrogen and oxygen (N2, N2+, and O2+) can produce emissions at orange wavelengths. However, these emissions are very weak compared to other competing colors produced by the same molecules. Auroras should not be orange.
hm... got me a Padparadscha Saphire ring but, otiginally it was blue; they treated it with heat. One cannot afford a genuiine Padparadscha Saphire, they are expensive... and. normally i do not wear rings :D
#saphire #gem #stone #minerals #ring #ya #orange is my #color since primary school.

We have a couple of different kinds of poppies growing here and there in our garden. A few years ago I tossed some wildflower seeds around so every year different flowers appear.Art is here - https://peggy-collins.pixels.com/featured/poppy-dance-peggy-collins.html

#Oranges have been called a “ #perfect #food ” and contain an #amazing array of #healing #vitamins, #minerals, #antioxidants, and #phyto-nutrients.
Oranges are high in #vitamin #C , vitamin #A, #B-complex vitamins, #folate, #beta-carotene, #lutein, and minerals such as #calcium, #magnesium, #iron, and #potassium.
Oranges have been known to help #prevent-cancer, lower high blood pressure, fight off viral infections, relieve constipation, keep bones and teeth strong, #prevent-kidney-stones and #macular-degeneration.
Oranges are rich in lime and alkaline salts that help to counteract and prevent acidosis in the body. They are also excellent for the digestive tract and help to remove toxic debris from the colon through enhanced peristaltic action.
Oranges contain a significant amount of #glutathione which is critical for healthy #eye and #lung function. Oranges are very good for #respiratory problems such as #asthma or #bronchitis and #cardiovascular issues such as #hypertension and #COPD.
Oranges act as an #internal #antiseptic to the body and have the ability to purify and strengthen all the organs in the body. Oranges contain #anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties which are particularly beneficial for those suffering with a cold or flu or an auto-immune disorder such as shingles, arthritis, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and raynaud’s disease.
Fresh squeezed orange #juice is a predigested food and allows for immediate absorption of all it’s abundant healing properties. However, be aware that orange juice will lose the majority of its vitamin C content within 30 minutes of being squeezed, so for optimum results #drink immediately. Whole oranges, peeled or cut in slices, are the best option as the fiber and pith is where so many of the phytonutrients and healing properties are contained.
Oranges are an excellent weight loss food due to their high pectin content which also helps to reduce blood cholesterol.
