As soon as I saw this week’s title I knew the images I would post. These are from the feast day for Saint Alphonsa of Kerala, India. She was the first native woman to be beatified. We came across these people celebrating her Feast day on the 28th July in Worcester a couple of years ago. It was a very colourful and friendly occasion.
What a great event to happen upon.. Love your pictures and especially the beautiful parasols!
Thank you!! It was a very lovely event to see and they were all very friendly and told us all about it.
Excellent choice Nancy! Love the umbrellas and the little girl especially.
Thank you Tina, I’m so pleased you like them. Yes, I loved the umbrellas too, they were so amazing and I wanted to buy one from them but didn’t dare to ask! And yes, the children were the cutest I have ever seen – and so well behaved! x
Very nice set of images for the challenge–I get a real feel for the street life.
So colorful!

Do you travel all over? These are so lovely and real. I sense what it’s like to be there and I’m sad that I’m not. I want to go away. You’re the closest I am to it.
Ah Denise, I’m afraid I don’t travel that much and unfortunately not as far as India just yet. These pictures were taken in the UK in Worcester, when I was visiting a friend. Can you not get away, even for one or two days? A change of scenery can be good to help us get away from ourselves sometimes. x
Fantastic set of images. The last one is utterly beautiful.
Ah, thanks Jo! It was a magical sight for sure – and yes, all the kids were sooooo gorgeous and well behaved!
