    Goldenrod and blue. Quite the combination. I think I’ve seen a flag or a banner somewhere with these colours complementing each other nicely. I wonder if I figure out where I saw it.

    And I’m up! It turns out the only juxtaposition I had was a plastic robot and flowers. Does it have a deeper meaning? I don’t know. I really haven’t the slightest idea. I thought I might discover something that looked like your great picture, but I kept finding flowers. With Robbie. The Robot.
