Color!

I'm totally in love with the colors found in India. In so many ways the country is dirty, dismal, and depressing and then just when it's getting you down you see yellow marigolds, bright blue saris, red tikas and this sort of action pictured above. It's a good reminder what a strong and lively splash of color can do for one's spirits. I want to have a festival of color all the time--around the house, with what I wear, and just about anywhere.
