and my camera lens while walking around Mexico.
I'm back home now...I actually arrived home several days ago but I've been layed flat with a cross border bug. Viruses have no concept of the idea of borders! It's not my idea of a holiday souvenir, but hey...it didn't take up any room at all in the suitcase!
Until I get my bearings I thought I'd post a few images that speak volumes about the heart and beauty of Mexico.
Cactus blossom...
When the chicken crosses the road....?
The fountain in the cafe courtyard of the library in San Miguel...
Children from a nursery school watch dancing in the streets...
Ah...those amazingly beautiful Jacaranda trees...
Beautiful, colourful and oh so dignified...
A group of school kids in a parade held just before Lent...
piñatas hanging in the market...
a nursery school wall in La Penita...
a fountain in Mineral de Pozos...
the roof top patio of a bed and breakfast in San Miguel
The Winged Wonder sitting in our kitchen in San Miguel and pondering the complexities of a non functioning computer connection .
While walking up the street I wondered if these ribbons were simply for decoration or did they signify something?...
A wall mural in the Instituto Allende...a degree granting art Institue in San Miguel...
the beautiful symmetry of nature...
voted (by me!) as my favourite courtyard in San Miguel to relax with a glass of Sangria...the Fine Arts Cultural Center of Bellas Artes. The two-story cloister which was a former nunnery, surrounds an enormous courtyard with large trees and a gurgling fountain, It houses art exhibits and classrooms for drawing, painting, sculpture, lithography, textiles, ceramics, dramatic arts, ballet, regional dance, piano, and guitar. The cafe which is tucked into a corner, is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace.
