Isn't It Ironic?

Don't you think?

Not to belabor the pun, I mean point, but after my last post title here is the fantastical sight that greeted us at 9:30 this morning in the hotel parking lot by our house.

A beautiful sunshiny day, fantastic music, a tall white horse bearing a turbaned groom. Amidst people dancing, saris shining, drums beating and a garland maker was a sleep rumpled blonde darting among the glamour, trying to get a few good shots for your viewing enjoyment.



I will stop pestering you now and go work in the garden.

Oh, I almost forgot the tiny dancer!

  4. Sue, Right? I wish I had video of her dancing up and down and all around.

    Janet, I know! How lucky to be awake and alive to enjoy it.

    Urban stems,It woke our roommate up, he was all grumpy. We're like grumpy? You should be dancing!

    Anneke, It was a very patient horse. Sometimes in lieu of a horse ( or vice versa) there is a white elephant!
