The Right Tea for the Meeting

Posted on August 31, 2021 by vanbraman

This week we have been having meetings with our colleagues around the world.

Tonight we had a Teams meeting with India and I wanted to make sure I had the right drink for the meeting.

Vahdam Tea, Oolong Tea, Indian TeaFor the meeting with India I decided to make a cup of Vahdam High Mountain Oolong Tea, which comes from the Darjeeling area of India. One of my trainers from India had brought it to me on his last trip to California.Oolong Tea, Vahdam Tea, Heavy Oxidized OolongThis tea has a nice dark color and is one of the more highly oxidized oolong teas.

The Dominion, Bangalore, Trip to IndiaWhenever I drink teas from India I remember the trips I have made there through the years. One of the colleagues on the call tonight was a student during my first training trip there back in the 90’s. I remember him laughing at me as I took this picture with my old floppy disk camera. Why was I taking a picture of the shrubs.

Cricket in India - Bangalore - Cricket Pitch - Stumps - Playground CricketI always have good memories when I have meetings with colleagues from India. The engineer with me here was also on the call tonight. They are usually pretty easy with me when we play cricket and at least let me hit a fell balls before bowling me out.

Pink Image Search

Posted on August 30, 2021 by vanbraman

Tonight I have been reading a book about color so decided to do another color image search. My previous posts in this series are Blue Image Search, Red Image Search, Yellow Image Search, Green Image Search, Orange Image Search,  Purple Image Search, Black Image Search, White Image Search, and Brown Image Search.

For these posts I simply pick a color and search my blog images to see what I come up with.

I am now going to click on Add Media and then type ‘pink’ in the search field.

What ‘pink’ images will I find?

They may not end up being pink in color.

fall color, pink rose, rose bushHere we have a pink rose.

Pinky Up, Dessert Tea, Cinnamon Bun, teaI found this interesting tea a few years ago. Pinky Up is a brand of dessert teas.

I bought two different flavors; Cinnamon Bun and Chocolate Mint. Both are delicious.

Rainbow at Sunset, Rainbow, Pink Rainbow, Water Droplets, RainHave you ever seen a pink rainbow? You will only see one right after sunset.

Kite Flying, Singapore, Pink Kite, polka dotsI saw this pink kite in Singapore while out sightseeing.

Pink Rose Bush, Floribunda, Roses at duskI had a lot of flower pictures to pick from in this search. One of my favorites is this one of a bloom on my pink floribunda rose bush.

I hope you enjoyed these ‘pink’ images.

What color should I search for the next time I can’t think of what to post about?
