Great Year for Orange

Orange you glad?

Blogger friend, Victoria, reminded me that I haven't mentioned color-of-the-year TANGO ORANGE and in her comment linked to another blog with great pictures! Thanks, long-distance friend!

A Few Favorite Things

One morning we saw an educational schooner while walking with Mom & Dad. Didn't get a picture, but the crew on board gave us a brochure--seriously interesting opportunity for high school/college children. Fun to read their blog and see the difference between being a "traveller" and a "tourist."

We met a woman photographer who has a blog (Mom, what is her site?) who lives on this destination wedding island with her husband & family.

Coral I gathered but DID NOT take home.

My favorite/scariest thing?

Check out the great ORANGE on information docents at Lu's race. Madras plaid with orange is traditional St. Thomas pattern!

(I did buy this dress from thrift store--Hazel wore it around my house all day yesterday.)

Papaya from Mom & Dad's landlord's yard. Wonderful, smooth & rich taste.

Pissaro's Birthplace. Rubble Fill building method, crazy brick and coral and everything cemented with molasses/sand/lime.
