George, fantastic form and finish, but we've come to expect nothing less from your postings.

I love the Loofah colour, it reminds me of when the sun sets below the cloud base abd make the underside light up like the sky is on fire.

Wonderful.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

George, I can add little to the comments.. These I'm sure, we can all find suggestion of something reminiscent, Bryan a Sunset .. are they mulberries (red & gold) a swarm of bees (orange & pearl) then perhaps jars of jam.

Well done, always brilliant your work.    David
