Here are two photos of color, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

I was charmed by the colors the building walls were painted in the central district in San Miguel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. They go so well with the blue sky!

The old doors of San Miguel de Allende are rightfully famous. I am sure there are many photography books on that just that subject.

The tiny streets of San Miguel de Allende are much better for pedestrians than auto traffic. All the buildings in the center of town must be painted in earth tones.

San Miguel is at 6500 ft. elevation, keeping the climate much cooler than other parts of Mexico

Beautiful groined vault ceilings at Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende, the most beautiful art school ever. From the second floor walkway around a courtyard with orange trees, you can see a magnificent domed church, Las Monjas (The Nuns).

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.”
