This Sunday in my city

Posted on September 11, 2011

Like a kid, I’ve been eagerly waiting for this Sunday because I was dying to see what everyone else in this series had posted. Some of the photography is fabulous, like Unknown Mami’sI also saw Thin Spiral Notebook’s pix. Awesome (I know – but I like the word). I can see I am going to have a great time seeing the others. But first let me show y’all mine. Photos via my mobile phone – so don’t expect quality like the others – but what the heck. I love ’em – and I hope you do too. Here we go!

Check the hair decor. One flower, garland, bejeweled

Tressed for success. She’s 8 years old

Cute little donkey

Sunday ritual. Lemon Lamps

Shoes are safe. A headless statue of a deity stands guard

Pigeons. Waiting to crap in my verandah

Snack time. Cheeselings

On my walk. Quack Quack

That’s it for my Sunday. 🙂

I am off to check out the others!

Thanks, Unknown Mami

😀 Thanks. Love YOU!

But seriously, I spend a half hour every Sunday scraping off Sh*t off the verandah floor and washing it with soap. I am sure the pigeons approve.

I really like the shot of the tiny shoes and the headless statue. It seems both sweet and sad at the same time.

Thank you for the recognition. That was very nice.

Vidya – love the 8 year old’s hair decoration. The lemon lamps (or oranges here) are something the crafters “just” discovered and they are all over the US craft web sites as a “new” thing to do. You have a beautiful altar space.

Thank you, Laurie. The one with the jewel is an 8 yr old girl. The ladies in front are in their forties :-). Wearing flowers, especially jasmine is common.

@Tara – that place is the outside of a little temple right next to the side gate of my son, Vidur’s school. It is a comic sight every morning to see kids taking their shoes off, to pray. :-D. I really like your blog.

@SUB – yes, it was. I wish I had had my digital camera with me. Suddenly there were so many wandering in our area. 😀 Makes one think, does it not?

I liked your Strange God post, and especially the cartoon.

@ceodraiocht – thank you. 🙂 I had a wonderful time watching that 8-year old – we had gone out yesterday for a music event and she wouldn’t sit still at all for more than a minute. I have several shots of her playing with her camera.
