The light of day lasts through 8:30 in the evening of late
Skies greyed by morning fog and auto fumes,
less an ocean breeze
blows it inland
Sunset drama play
The fruit orange
(Clementine, Mandarin, Tangerine, Satsumas, Kumquats, Tangelos, Bergamot, Oranges, Persimmon)
evoke eternal summer and signaling fall.
The flower orange
California poppy, Nasturtium, Sunflower, Asiatic Lilies
all-presence, gentle invaders
in our ecozone
Color of fall and harvest
pumpkins, gourds
Its combination of red's energy and the happiness of yellow,
the sun's color in our mind
signaling joy and balmy tropics.
Orange as a color
identified with visibility
safety
midpoint between yellow and red
Red-orange hot ember
conjures passion, pleasure and thirst for action.
Saffron robe and alms-giving.
Sacred dress for Hindus and Buddhist
Amber, burning stone
musky resin
preservative
Gold, precious metal
pliable at twenty-four,
ever present as fourteen,
gilded Vermeil.

Orange is the color of fire. It can burn and consume you, but it can also warm and light your way.
