We Made It!

Bienvenidos, Blitzers! Welcome to Olvera Street and the Fiesta de las Flores, aka "Flower and Camera Day"!

One of many fiestas held throughout the year, this event was an opportunity for pro and amateur photographers to click pics of the monument which was brightly decorated with -- no, not cameras -- flowers!

Ya, even paper cutouts.

Of course, it wasn't all about the flowers. This was a fiesta, after all. That means music and dancing!

And let's not forget all the great food!... Uh, I don't actually have pics of the food. Guess I should have clicked a few before I ate it all... But take my word on it, it was way delicioso! Anyway, who needs pics of the food? There's loads of other things to see here. Like the architectural details...

The colors...


The vendor displays...

And my favorite: LUCHA!!!

You just can't find that kind of fun anywhere, folks. I sure had an amazing time. In fact, I had such a great time, I wanted to document it. Not just with random pics...

...but with me in the pic. Now, I normally prefer to be behind the camera, but I was so filled with happy that I wanted to be able to share it with you. Can you feel the joy? Even under all the camera stuff? Nice. Ya, the cool thing about a camera event is that you can always find a fellow Blitzer to snap a pic of you if you're without back-up. (My PhotoBlitz team mate, Tim, having been stuck with the day job thing, was unable to attend. No worries, Tim: I had a piece of pan dulce in your honor.)

Well, Blitzers, I hope you enjoyed this excursion. Like to see more? Just Click Here for more pics of Olvera Street. Until next time, everybody. Remember: Follow Your Blitz!
