looking down from up
above, we are
ants marking important
trails, gradually
reinforcing the most
successful routes
with well-trodden
stories.
on return,
we weave
journeys with
our fingers, hands
full, mouths
sampling,
re-arranging
each new word

the colors are magnificent. . . great photo
thank you! i’m glad you enjoyed it!
magnificent color and context. a feast for the eye — beautiful!
my husband would like to add — “oh, wow!” 🙂
thank you – and imagine the mixture of sharp fragrances!
aww, sweet! thank you for sharing!
Lovely colours – think I may have to cook a curry tonight to capture the smells 🙂
ooo, what kind? let me know how it goes. yum!
Sorry for the late response – it wound up as a version of Muttar Paneer with mushrooms and red pepper added. A favourite with my son 🙂
sounds yummy! i love paneer.
Looks mmmmmmm….good!
you all are making me hungry! (laugh)
This makes me hungry! Yum! I love the colors in this photo!
thank you, Camilla!
like the repetitiveness of the containers accentuated by the colours, great image 🙂
thank you!!
Remember the age old adage, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? You captured an interesting perspective. 🙂
(smile) thank you!
Wow, that’s a lot of herbs & spices!!!
yes, it makes choosing even harder, but i just saw that Spice and Tease will soon offer online purchases!
Spices! Needs them in my life
who doesn’t? (smile)
…I can almost smell them!….
i’d say the tanginess overpowers many of the others.
I would love to be there and try the spices. They look colorful and wonderful.
what’s everyone’s favorite spice? that’s a loaded question! i love ginger and chili, and i enjoy cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, cumin, and star anise.
wow – beautiful colours – I want some
(smile) thank you so much!
Nice and interesting Photo 🙂
