Oranges and Orlando

What symbolizes Orange more than Florida? Or is it the other way? (I think I’ll start this weekly photo challenge blogging theme to keep this alive and running)

A trip with friends is amazing – made more so if it’s a reunion meeting up in another country! Familiar faces and tales are a comfort, one that’s too precious to miss out on. It’s the ease with which organic conversations flow and the way you fall over laughing too hard from shared memories.
