Hot Air Balloon Salute

Photos by Moi.

Yesterday I watched in amazement as over 25 hot air balloons danced in the sky.

In Provo, Utah every year there is a celebration called Freedom Days around the 4th of July. For three straight days about 25 hot-air balloons take off at about seven in the morning. You can go early to see them inflate. This was the first year I attended. It was magical. I ran around in awe with my little brother. I think I was acting more excited than he was. I am sure I embarrassed him. But aren't they lovely?

Colorful Caminito

Pictures by yours truly.

Caminito is a smorgasbord of eye candy. It lies within the Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a must see in B.A. Today my husband and I went there wide-eyed and awe-struck just trying to take it all in. It was like a childhood fantasy come true with all the colorful buildings painted bright all side by side.

The story behind it: Between 1880 and 1930 many Italian immigrants came to the port La Boca. The Italian immigrants brought their proud traditions of painting the outside of their house to La Boca and used leftover paint from the shipyards.

Traditionally this is a poor community and this remains true in the surrounding areas. Be careful with your belongings and avoid going too far into the neighborhoods nearby.

Turquoise

{click}

Turquoise details bring me much delight.

Today I feel calm, peaceful, and withdrawn from the world (in a good way).

What the color blue represents in art:

Sky, sea, water, mother, health, calm, chastity, inspiration, creativity, serenity, faith, peace.

If pale: distance, withdrawn, introversion

Inspiration: Color Combo

The inspiration for this week's outfit came from the flaking paint on the wall of someone's house. I love the layers of bright and soft complementary colors flaking away to expose one another. I go on walks to get out of the apartment and get out of my head. I try to pay attention to every detail around me, finding beauty in simple things. I try to be fully in the present in mind on these walks. I feel so refreshed after.
