Venice Cherries
Banana-Cherry Crepe in Venice, Italy
Cerise is French for “cherry”. Crayola is now going French on us! I didn’t have one picture of a French cherry! How can that be? But, I did have some pictures of Italian Cherries!

Charleston House, Home of Vanessa Bell
I found two colors today in one picture from the garden of Vanessa Bell’s home, Charleston House, seven miles east of Lewes, UK. What a beautiful and bountiful garden. For more pictures, look HERE!
Caribbean Green has been in Crayola Collection since 1997. Carnation Pink is the name given to Rose Pink since 1958. It was known as Flamingo Pink in the second “So Big” set of crayons, 1988-1992. It was Pink in the Mexico collection since 1990, Cherry Blossom in the “Colors of Washington, DC series, 2002-2006 and Paler Pink in the special “Color of Binney & Smith” set, 2003.
So Carnation Pink has been on the radar with Crayola a long time and seen many makeovers!

Budapest Lights
Cadet Blue Crayola
Crayola’s Cadet Blue looks to be on the violet side to me. Here is a photo that I took in Budapest, Hungary. I think these lamp posts look like Heart Angels, don’t you? And don’t the lights on the chain look like thuribles that hold the incense in church? I can just see the thuriblers swinging them! The lamp posts are very tall, as you can see, because the hanging plant basket, that is barely in the picture at the bottom, was six feet off the ground. The multi-colored blue sky really shows them off!

Quebec, Canada
Quebec City, Canada
Quebec, Canada
The Trees in Canada go from Burnt Orange to Burnt Sienna! Crayola has featured Burnt Sienna in their line of crayons since 1903. Since Crayola has a color selected for every state in the US I think I will name Burnt Sienna the color for Quebec, Canada! Beautiful, beautiful shades of Orange!

Quebec City, Canada Pumpkins
Quebec City, Canada Pumpkins
Burnt Orange has been in the Crayola collection since 1958. The best place on the earth, in my opinion, to see orange, of any shade, is Quebec, Canada! Oh, it is so much fun to be in Quebec City in the autumn! Well, anytime really, but it is SOOOO colorful in the fall. The city goes above and beyond the norm to dress up the city for Fall. Here are just a few pictures to get you in the mood for Burnt Orange!

English Red Brick
The Rooster in the Red Brick
Brick Red or Red Brick?
New English Brick
Brick Red Crayola
The Crayola color is Brick Red. Compared to the red bricks of the UK it’s a tad too red! I say always go to the source! I learned at Hampton Court Palace how to tell who laid the bricks. The Flemish bricklayers laid bricks of various shades and lengths all mixed together. The English bricklayers laid one row of short bricks then one row of long bricks. It’s good to know your bricks and bricklayers!

My Idea of Blush
Crayola Blush
When I think of Blush, I am thinking of a light pink cheek. Crayola is thinking of a very, very, very, pink cheek! It must be the sun-kissed version of the standard Blush. Crayola’s version of Blush is more like a raspberry. Did you know that Crayola had eight multicultural crayons? Developed in 1992, the colors Apricot, Black, Burnt Sienna, Mahogany, Peach, Sepia, Tan, and White were colors that, “come in an assortment of skin hues that give a child a realistic palette for coloring their world.” No blush there! Have you seen the Burnt Sienna color? It’s a shade of orange! I have never seen an orange person, but what do I know? Wait, maybe I have. They are the people who spend too much time in a tanning booth!

The Blue Violet Flowers
A Beautiful Garden in West Hoathly, UK
I do not know what these flowers are. I think they are primroses. They were a beautiful iridescent Blue Violet! It was just one of thousands of beautiful plants that I saw in the English gardens on my English Garden Tour 2015!
Just to let you know, I’ve been thinking of what I would do with the lottery money that now is up to over 1 billion. One of the things I would do is purchase a garden and lovely little cottage in the UK and hang out with gardening friends that know all the latin names of flowers. Perhaps they would have a class on such at the local Woman’s Institute meeting, for transplants like me, who would like to be in the know. I can only dream! Well, maybe I could start on one flower. If the flower shown is a primrose, it is called primula vulgaris. How could anything so beautiful be vulgar?

Snazzy Car in the Cotswolds, UK
It’s the snazziest iridescent Blue Green car in the Cotswolds! What more do I need to say? Ok, the word snazzy was first used in 1932.
