      I find lots of inspiring scenes as I travel through Mexico. The amazing thing about this one is that somebody painted it on the wall of a house in an alley!

    I love the colors of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s attire! Is your home close to San Miguel de Allende? I ask because I think that you have shared so many beautiful shrines from this area.

      Oh, no! San Miguel is a couple of hours away by air from Tijuana, which is the airport I use. I’ve been there only once, but I took a lot of photos. I do plan to return in February!

      It happens to be in a rather run-down (although not dangerous) neighborhood. I think of the shrine as a ray of hope in otherwise hopeless surroundings.

    MMT…I am happy to be here, I have missed you
    and your haiku prayers.
    Try not to scurry too furiously. ♥

    I love that shrines are hidden by the wayside and bless those that pass by.

    How wonderful to find a beautiful painting like this in such an unexpected location! Your Lady Of The Way haiku is perfect as we enter into this busy holiday season. Thank you.

      Why, I wonder is the holiday season always busy? Maybe it’s because we don’t step out of the way to pray for a while.

    So refreshingly unique. Like an intimate piece of art. Beautiful.

    I like the naive look of the “shrine”
