Color All Around Me

There was a festival going on at my church this weekend that I went to and enjoyed.  They were serving many different dishes, so my son joined me.  He loves authentic foods from different traditions.  

Cute pom poms adorned the posts
of the building.


Colorful umbrellas


There were even ladies dressed
in their colorful blouses.


We each had a taco and a tamale,
which were so good.


We didn't try the assorted pastries,
but I've had these before.


Lovely handmade signs
(this one means Rosary of love).



Just one of the many festivals
 that my church puts on every year.


Color is the language of
the poets.
It is astonishingly lovely.
To speak it is a privilege.

Have a colorful week.

Love this colorful post of yours.
What kind of a world would it be without colors?
Oh I love those pom poms... so girly and pretty.
And those dishes and pastries looks so delish.
Church events are fun because you get to be
closer to other members and you get to meet
new people from it.
The quality of your pics look great.

Have a colorful and wonderful week ♥

What a wonderful event at your church, Sheri! Your meal sure looks delicious! I'm so glad you and your son enjoyed yourselves. All the color is lovely to see. I really like the use of the colorful umbrellas. And the stained glass window is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this lovely time with us. ♥

Dearest Sheri, good morning! As the colors of summer fade but the temporary hues of fall enter, I am blessed. Your share today is happy and full of my own family heritage! Tamales are a huge part of my family holiday celebration, and sometimes it's too painful to even smell the aroma of all these foods, for my elders lovingly prepared these dishes with us kids watching on, and now we are the creators of this tapestry of colorful family heritage. Enjoy your day my friend!

Pam said...

Very colorful! I love color! Bet you and your son had an amazing time. Wishing I lived closer to my son so that we could do things like this but thanks to the world of today and CELL phones I get to have contact with him all the time!!!!

Debby Ray said...

I’ve got a thing for Pom poms, so those huge ones made me smile ๐Ÿ˜Š. I can appreciate how much work went into this event, just the tamales alone are super time consuming!

Days like this with family are what life is all about.
