The image below is one l have just taken with my mother-in-law's camera..not bad but not very good quality when you wish to do a close up. The word for today was YELLOW. I tried all sorts of ideas for the word but as l walked towards Tate Modern l saw this group of milk bottles. It bought back memories of my childhood. We used to get orange juice delivered like this then. I had not realised they still delivered it like this still. Made me smile! So this bottle of orange is my YELLOW for the day even if it is made from oranges!!
