Monday Mellow Yellows - A Jaipur Lady - January 7, 2013


I am so glad to see that Gemma Wiseman is continuing the cheerful yellow theme on
Mondays!  Though I am 7000 miles away from my beloved India, I still have many
photos from there - to tug at my heart until I can return, hopefully by mid-May.
This lady I caught from my auto rickshaw as she crossed the street near me.




I am participating in Monday Mellow Yellows -
add your spot of yellow photo to join in the fun!

    1. I lived in India a total of nine months out of the last year. I never ceased to be amazed by the beautiful saris.

    1. The saris of India are so beautiful...I didn't buy one, though...wrapping them seemed impossible to me.

    1. I have dozens of pictures of beautiful saris...even living nine months in India last year, I was forever mesmerized by their color and the varieties, some jeweled and mirrored.

    1. Thanks, Liz...looking at my India photos brings back such wonderful memories. Hopefully, I'll return in mid-May, after I recover from my total shoulder surgery.

    1. That's just how I felt my nine months of living in Mumbai & Jaipur. The brilliance and color of the saris was amazing.

    What I like about yellow, is the fact, that it can never be a dark colour.

    Please have a good Tuesday.

    1. You're right, Kim...a gathering of women is phenomenal...especially if it's a festival or special occasion & they are in their best saris.

    1. Hi Maggie May! It's so good to see you. I'm really beginning to miss India, home now for over two months. Getting ready for total shoulder replacement surgery on Friday...hopefully, back to India in May.

    1. Hi Glynis...so great to see you. I'm having total replacement surgery of my left shoulder on Friday...so I won't get back to India till mid-May, at least. I hope I don't gain back the 35 pounds I've lost!
