Orangey Variations

It's a two-posts-in-one-day day, this one shared with Maria's Orange You Glad it's Friday meme.  Many thanks to her for hosting!

We are fortunate to have Star Pets Only situated minutes from our apartment, and paid a visit there Wednesday to pick up Black Jack's supplies.  Black Jack was thrilled.  Both Tony and Masumi are high on her list of favourite people.  Masumi was working and, as always, took time to hand out beautiful massages and lots of love.

Black Jack enthusiastically returned the love.  Masumi's vest may be more of a red than an orange, but perhaps, we could call it an orangey red :)

Her beautiful smile brightened our day.  Thanks so much, Masumi!  

 This fellow turned up in the lobby of our building a couple of days ago.  I'd say the patterns..

 in his hat and the colour of his nose are orange.  Bill thought "Frosty" needed a friend, and 

 as far as I can tell, Frosty was grateful for the gesture :)

Yesterday's rain stopped for only a few minutes, and we enjoyed those minutes immensely. 

 The sun broke through a very dark sky, lighting up this park bench by False Creek.

A window in a building by the Granville Bridge caught the momentary tangerine shades.. 

but, seconds after this shot was taken, we were pelted with wind and rain.   

Happily, the sun has come out this morning, the field in David Lam Park is looking refreshed,  

 oranges are showing up in the buildings seen from our 8th floor window,

and the faces of the OsGemeos mural are smiling..  though they never really stopped :)  Have a very happy Friday, everyone!
