Hi everyone,
We are already into Ash Wednesday and I am a bit late with this post but I could not let the day go by without sharing these pictures with you.
My husband, Joe had been to the state of Goa for the Carnival celebrations. For me, the blaring music and standing in the hot sun for hours at a stretch would be an invitation to a migraine - so I did not go.
These were taken in the capital city of Panaji or Panjim.
Hope you enjoyed looking at them.
Bye for now !

ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful event.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
Hello Marie-Louise, Alison, Carol, Sue and Kate, Thank You for stopping by. You must visit Goa sometime. I'll be posting soon about my trip in December. Due to technical problems I was unable to do it earlier.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a spectacular event! I love all the bright colors. I'm sure it's pretty warm in India this time of the year. Here in Minnesota it's snowing and cold. I look forward to the warmer weather. Thanks for visiting my blog My Creative Corner at www.starlightstamper.com It was so nice of you to leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda, We take colour for granted here. I used to wonder when foreign tourists commented on "explosion of colour" but no longer. When we go abroad to visit the children, we see a lot of grey and black. It's just started getting warm - 36C today and it will get worse as summer is upon us. I visit your blog several times a week. It is from you that I got inspiration to craft notebooks and decorate them. You are incredibly creative and thanks once again for sharing your work.
DeleteLena, this looks like a wonderful time. Those colours of brightness are so vibrant and fulfilling....in other words a wonderful world...luv aNNie xxx
