The reasons why I like this photo are:
the colors
the writing on the building
the slant of the doorway and sidewalk

Some photos just need to stand on their own. This is one.

Travels Beyond New Jersey
Thursday, May 21, 2009
No trip to San Miguel could ever be complete without a visit to its famous Jardin (pronounced hardeen). I don’t think a day went by that didn’t find us either in the Jardin or somewhere close by. It truly is the heart of this city, and has been since 1737. The centerpiece of this lovely square is without a doubt the Parroquia, a pink stone confection fit to top someone’s wedding cake.
The ancient laurel trees provide shade from the strong sun. They are manicured into hedge-like shapes and are constantly being clipped and cared for by a small army of gardeners. When I touched their mighty trunks their bark felt like smooth stone underneath my hand. Powerful.
People come to just sit and watch the world go by, meet friends, eat ice cream, and tap into the free WiFi that is provided for the entire square. What better place to sit and get your email?
Surrounding the square are many restaurants and small shops selling locally crafted wares. Vendors abound selling balloons, sombreros, and dried flower arrangements.
I never tired of looking at the Parroquia ...

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
