Diwali informally signals the onset of winter, here in India. Part of Diwali celebrations is Rangoli -- 'rang' (pronounced as in 'rung') means colour, and the 'oli' bit signifies that it's an activity...it's a girls' / ladies' speciality, but the custom seems to be gradually dying out in the cities. Happened to be out for a walk, saw Rangoli activity going on, asked permission (readily granted) and shot these...
That rocked! :-)

Page 5: Gee, Frederica, I'm blushing under my natural tan ! Compared to your eloquence, artistic abilities and encyclopedic knowledge about poetry and things around us (love your naming each and every bird you photograph), I am a philistine. Yet I am strangely happy at your words and, of course, those of the inimitable Roadrunner. Thank you - from the bottom of my heart - for appreciating my small efforts.

Andrew a.k.a. Toothmaker - these 2 images are perfect for today's challenge! I was looking for leaves on the ground like your first photo! But, we've just had too much wind around here lately. Nature's leaf blower ~ (pg. 5)

Perilin- She is gorgeous!! Our 2nd Grandbaby this week! And she has my name ~ Grace! Actually, everyone calls me Gracie. Congratulations - your son is totally in love! (pg. 5)

Last week we had a nice little snow storm, OKAY, the biggest storm in a long time. We got over 16 inches in downtown Salt Lake, and over 4 feet in the mountains. So lets all get the heavy coats out, and how a snow ball fight?

Lass, I love that saying.. never have heard it before.
Janet, you are so funny. Now I'm picturing Lass frozen to the cow and Janice looking on wide eyed in amazement. :lol:
