I was lucky to escape the Polar Vortex this winter for 8 days and nights, and to once again visit Oaxaca. While the food, friends, and temperatures were a highlight, it was being in a landscape that wasn't monochromatic that did me as much good as anything. This was a winter that left so many of us feeling trapped, physically and mentally. And I also felt trapped visually. Being in a place where color was so enmeshed in the everyday did my soul a lot of good.
Here's some of what we saw. There will be more to come.

Amazing photos! It was fun to follow on IG too!
Beautiful-so warm and bright! Seeing the photos warms my heart. I'm glad you got such a lovely break.
Thanks Sallie and Sherri. I find Mexico so inspiring! And yes, Sherri, you'll likely see a few duplicates here from my Instagram account. The photos I got with my phone seemed nearly as good as the ones I got with my big SLR.
I hope you brought home that beautiful blue embroidered shirt to wear!
