Happy Sunday!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and FUN! Love your post! I love seeing photos of your country!
Love them all, but the flowers and the food made me smile. Have a beautiful Sunday.

Very nice photos!
😀 Thanks, Raymonde. It is invariably the flowers and food that makes us smile, too! I found your pictures enthralling. Especially the “A French Take” ones.
@BLOGitse – I am in love with those leaves in your post. Thanks for coming by. And yes, books and good food actually do make a perfect day!
I want some Vadas!!!!!
Just come on over, May! 🙂 Any time!

I LOVE your Sundays.
The Donkey in the moonlight! The flowers! Your son blowing bubbles! THE BOOKS! What is the food at the bottom again?
Xx Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Lovely flowers. Do you ride a scooter around town?
Do you make curried vegetables?
the large mound of flowers on the cart seems odd to me but you probably see that often. good pictures
Books and a beautiful tree. Sounds like a wonderful Sunday to me.

🙂 Technobabe – yes, I ride a scooter around town. A Honda Activa. And yes, I make curried vegetables. Every single day with parathas.
I loved your squirrels!
@Sheila, you should visit. 🙂 I love my country too.
@ShonEjai…Roshanda, your blog is so very beautiful. I felt total peace when I visited.
@Traci, thanks. Yes, we enjoyed the day
Hey Kim! I was thinking of you as I posted the food pictures. The vada, dosa and “kozhakkattai” are all dishes we make often. The vada is a savory where we make a thick batter from soaked and finely ground black gram, season it with curry leaves, cilantro, salt and asafoetida and then fry it. Most yum. Check out the vada, kozhakkattai and dosa links in the post. The dosa is again made from a rice + black gram batter and made like pancakes.
All yum, I assure you 🙂
Such interesting foods and all new to me!
Oh my – coconut flavored with cardamon in the filling? They must be so yummy.
Eucalyptus have become a “weed” in California. They’re known for splitting and toppling over in windy storms. But, they are gorgeous trees which is why folks imported them in the first place. Yours is a lovely specimen.
Thanks for sharing.
The tree is amazing to be so old. That’s very interesting. I love shopping in book stores too.
@Lisleman – thanks. Yes,we see those all the time; in fact, most carts have several of those and I often wonder how they stay balanced.
Hi Keetha, we’re rather popular for our overdose of festivals and the innumerable menus that go with each. Seems like the festivals were concocted for eating. We’re not complaining 😉
@ceodraiocht – Eucalyptus is considered very useful as a medicinal plant here. There was a “Eucalyptarium” near that tree with hundreds of trees being tended carefully.
This was a delightful journey through your world.
@Tara – it is a family favorite pastime to browse bookshops. The evidence is all there at home 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Unknown Mami. I’ve shared your pictures with every person I could think of. I am never forgetting those as long as I live.
