ROY G. BIV is this week’s photo challenge – all the colours of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Would you prefer a model from the Hoover Dam gift shop:
Or the real thing?
From a vintage car show at Morgan Hill, California.

And don’t forget Richard of York Gave Battle In Vain. I actually think it’s easier to just remember the colours!

Those ‘here’s’ were for Richard but I seem to have misplaced them! 😦 Not a clue who Roy is- I only know Rogers and Trigger. 🙂

You never heard of Roy G. Biv? Why it’s Roy G. Bivolo, Rainbow Raider. I’ve never heard heard of him either. 🙂 So is it an acronym or pneumonic/mnemonic? ROYGBIV is an acronym and Roy G. Biv is a mnemonic. Am I over thinking this? I would have been happy to go with the colours of the rainbow.

Thank you, Pam. I remembered taking that first photo and could picture the gift shop but it took quite a lot of wading through the swamp in my brain to remember where the gift shop was so I could find the photo! Do you do that? Have an image in your head but can’t remember where it was?

I need to go to bed. I read that completely wrong. I like yours better. We didn’t learn about the Duke of York at school. Not that history was my forté. Not that I have a forté. Definitely going to bed.

Ok, what I meant to say last night when I was tired and incoherent was that we didn’t learn about the Duke of York at school so it wouldn’t have made a good numonic for us. (But then I didn’t learn about Roy G. Biv either.)
