winter blues + orange trees
• 34 comments •
The word orange itself is derived from the Spanish word 'naranja,' which came from the Sanskrit word nāraga, which literally means 'orange tree.' Apparently the color was named after the fruit around the 16th century. There were orange trees everywhere we looked in Malaga. Yet, we didn't see any on menus which was a little disappointing. Speaking of oranges: this is cute. Here's to a cheerful weekend.

ReplyDeleteA funny thing about blue Mondays is that U.S. Air Force wears their blues (dress blue uniform) on Mondays so I am used to calling Mondays - Monday Blues.

ReplyDeleteI eat so many oranges lately. Been buying huge bags full of oranges and grapefruits at the farmers market since I returned from Florida. When I was visiting my grandpa (87 years of age) in FL, he was eating 12 giant oranges with his lunch. True story.
ReplyDeleteI love oranges, but am very picky about them. *laugh* I have this memory of oranges from my aunt's tree when we visited her in Florida. And I think I'm always trying to get THAT flavor. Your photos, as always, are beautiful! : )
