The Tuesday Market in San Miguel was huge and colorful. I didn’t dare eat the peeled fruit, but it was so beautiful.

I am back from visiting my sister who lives in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, my first trip to San Miguel and only my second trip to Mexico altogether. The first one was so very long ago.
Of course it was photo heaven for me. I’ll be posting more than one photo for awhile, I think, since there were so very many wonderful images. Here are the first two.

A wonderful display garden at NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle (#NWFGS) had a beautiful fountain inside an arched courtyard. The gentleman there told me it’s “la fuente” in Spanish. He said that in old Spanish, la fuente also means “the source.”

The floral displays at the NWFGS might be my favorite part of the show—especially since they are in the lobby, with lots of natural light. Here’s a lovely bouquet, so subtle and Seattle in its use of green elements.
