Colorful Puppets of Jaipur - October 22, 2013

Depending on whether you are in India or San Francisco, 
I have 42 or or 43 days left in Mumbai - it's 12-1/2 hrs earlier at home!

One of the things I love most about this "country of my heart, is the brilliant colors

everywhere, in clothing, home decor, puppets and, of course, cosmetics.  When

I finally win the lottery, I will return, oblivious of overweight luggage charges, to

outfit my new homes with all sorts of wonderful Indian purchases, in brilliant 

colors, to offset gloomy rains and to fill my days with happiness and wonderful

memories of visits to this land I love so much.

Beautiful & Colorful Saris - October 7, 2013

It always seems to me that Indian women are dressed up when clad in their saris.  Even
for every day wear, they look so elegant.  I spotted this entourage last year when I was
in Jaipur.  Wish I could have gotten a bit closer for some better shots.

Venice Ambulance - September 16, 2013

I love Venice and have been fortunate enough to overnight there twice, on a Royal 
Caribbean ship.  I'm running out of years but I had so hoped to spend a week 
in Venice so I really could explore.  One sees everything on the water there and I
found this ambulance very unique.  I think I wouldn't want to have to be loaded
into one, though.  Rolling waves have to make that task a bit harder than on dry
land.

The colorful ambulanzia has orange, yellow, and even

a little blue so I am posting it on three Monday memes:
