Shadow Shot Sunday 97 - Puebla





















Here is a pleasant shady corner in the city of Puebla where I sat last weekend sipping a limonada and watching the world go by......There are so many delightful spots like this throughout Mexico - beautiful plazas, squares, patios, courtyards, and zocalos where you can just sit and simply be delighted by the world around you with little effort. More about the pretty town of Puebla in the next post, and in the meantime check out the rest of the Shadow Shot Sunday postings by clicking here. Enjoy!

Oh! How this picture exudes warmth! And the shadow of the tree on the wall is magical. I'll have a limonada, too, please...I just might sit here all day and watch the world pass by.

The dusty rose walls are perfect in hue. The bolder pastels add such a warm look to the plaza. The lively color shows us a place full of laughter and life - it is so beautiful!

Gosh, I was in Puebla last week too. We probably passed each other on the street somewhere or in the Zocalo!


WONDERING WHY

Said Shadow, “I do wonder why,
When there is no sun in the sky,
I must disappear;
I’d like to stay here
And never again say good-bye!”

Beautiful photo! I wish I was sitting in that delightful corner in Puebla sipping a limonada! Not that I know what limonada is but I'm sure it's yummy! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Catherine :)

Looks so cozy. I kinda like the simple buildings in its colour.

Crispy texture of your shadows shows that you really had a great sunny day, huh?

Happy SSS...
