Stepping down
 
A pedestrian on a steep street, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
 


walking straight and true
down the blossom-littered way—
a fragrant story

    Perhaps there is romance behind the dropped petals….

    Interesting capture – I like that you included the blue dress and green car – it leads to questions – which lead to stories…

    I just love all the colors in this shot. The step of the person in the blue dress seems so delicate as she approaches the blooms. I love the entire composition!

    Beautiful photo. I have heard San Miguel is very beautiful. I would love to visit one day. Thanks for stopping by, and yes, Pearlie is a definite ‘charmer’, I love her so. xo

      A fluke! I didn’t even see the woman coming down the stairs until after I pressed the shutter button!

    I like it, MMT! Do you remember “If you’re going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair?” That is an all time hit (1967) in Jim’s Book.

    This picture reminds me of that, here it would be ‘follow the petals and you will find …’
    I love the green (it is green isn’t it?) car find too.

    The grey and terra cotta act as a foil for the bright colours. Lovely haiku, too.

    Lovely capture. But, for me the best part of the shot is what is not there. This shot allows ones imagination to complete the story of what happened here. How those petals got there.
