Thursday Challenge: Sweet Orange

orange

My daughter isn’t feel 100% tonight (I’m hoping she just needs a good night sleep), so I gave her a dose of nature’s medicine, an orange.

The theme for Thursday’s Challenge this week is SWEET (Candies, Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Honey, Nice-Sounding, Beloved, Charming,…).

Much better then the pink covered sprinkling donat I still cannot forget :)This orange says - healthy written all over it! Hope your girl feels better soon!

Yeah, maybe she had one too many sweets last week. And she never seems to go to sleep early enough. Tonight she fell asleep soon after 8 pm. Hope that cures her.

Oh dear.I hope she feels better in the morning Leora....My daughter was here this weekend and sick. I had brought her a Tylenol and a cold cloth when she went to bed and she said it was nice having some "Mommy-Care" even at her age..LOL..

I take "Mommy-Care" at any age. Sometimes my kids give me mommy-care. My daughter does it like this: if you are tired, lie down, but first can you get me...and a list of ten things comes out of her mouth.

How did you get such a dark background?

Yes, she woke up feeling fine! Obviously, a good night sleep was in order.

A black plate. And I did fill in one spot of light in Photoshop with black.

Glad to hear that your daughter is B"H feeling better.

I really like the contrast of the bright orange and the black background.

Here in Israel, we never see oranges in the summer. Fruit is only available in season.

The dark background does look great with the bright color of the orange!

I love your picture. And your name. Leora is my middle name. My mother chose the name in honor of one of her best friends. I think it's a beautiful name but I don't hear it often.

Anyway, the orange just glows against the black background! And I'm glad its healing powers worked, too.

I had a great aunt named Clara. I never met her.

Leora means "I have light: Le-ora" (or = light in Hebrew)
