Colorful Inspiration

The Amazing, Vibrant Colors of Mexico...

That Inspired My June Collection

Baja Baby

I walk down a meandering road

surrounded by white stucco homes

red and purple bougainvillea drip

from balconies like cherry syrup

spilt on scones.

The colors run downhill

coating the terra cotta town

with the aroma of Mexico.

I look at my feet on the buttered bubbles

of cobblestones.

I feel the burn of heat from the oven sun.

Women sweep the street and children run.

Dogs lie in the shade watching me

as I hum a song of Mexico.

Ferns, jungle green

spread their fingers and wave to me.

Palm leaves dance rhythmically

in the arms of an ocean breeze

and music sets the beat

of what I feel inside ~

vibrantly alive

on a morning walk into the soul

of my enchanting Mexico.
