day 249- ROYGBIV - orangee

Actually the Japanese word is daidai (from a bitter citrus fruit. The commonly eaten sweet orange is mikan.) A Japanese English teacher always pronounced it orangee, so in my mind the colour will always be orangee!

day 146 - little boxes


Couldn't resist this one. We were in Shikama and I looked back to see a yard full of fruit crates or something backgrounded by apartments. It brought to mind a folk song I used to sing back in the 60s/70s about conformity -  Little boxes.
