Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Gaudy.
I think it’s safe to say that Ailsa will never issue a challenge on the exact word that this costume inspires, so there’s no point in holding this photo back. Gaudy it is!

Orange is my favourite colour, such a happy and gaudy colour, love it…
LikeLike
Speaking of orange, at first I thought of pairing her with this photo
but then decided against it. The bird is more elegant than gaudy—as is she, to some extent, actually…
LikeLike
Wow what an amazing colour that bird is. What is it? I would say elegant but definately gaudy in an over the top way

I actually don’t know exactly what it is. It was in NYC’s Central Park Zoo but I failed to make a note of the exact identification. It looks like some kind of duck. But Googling “orange duck” bring up quite another sort of orange duck ;-)
