Oodles of noodles
A paper strip, called, “tanzaku,” hangs on a tree during the Tanabata Festival in Misawa City, Japan, July 26, 2019. Attendees wrote their wishes on the colored pieces of paper. The color red represents gratefulness, blue represents morality, yellow represents trust, white represents responsibility and black represents studiousness. (U.S. Air Force photo by Branden Yamada)
