Carpets of flowers - Corpus Domini

Thanks Marguerite - our town is very small so the designs are quite modest in comparison to some of the fantastic creations of bigger countryside cities - it's a wonder there are so many coloured petals in nature to go round ....

Wow that is amazing - thanks for these photos. It must take a long time to create some of these designs. Something to see!

fantastic Terry , thanks for showing us these photos

What a lovely celebration - must take a lot of work.

What a Wonderful Site to see Terry i bet every 1 looks forward to this Yearly Lovely Celebration :)

It does seem to take a lot work but because this hilltop town is so small - population of under 1,000 - there is still a vibrant sense of community spirit - starting from the little old biddies down to the children. Everybody joins in both the work and the ensuing enjoyment of the celebrations of this tradition.

I'm so glad you all like them. Next year, I'm hoping to go to a town that is renowned for the beauty of their flower/petal masterpieces

Enjoyed this Terry, thx!
Makes we want to have a go at my own carpet.

Why not, Weeding?? It would be great fun, but you'd have to choese to a windless and dry day tho' !!!!

Absolutely great.

Wow lots of my favourite pics one one blog! i'm just getting round to visiting blogs now:-))

Thanks for all your lovely comments .....

These photo's are amazing M.

Thanks Ian, I'm glad you like them.

It's such a lovely tradition, I wish we could do something like this here in the UK. ;~))

There's no reason why it can't be done Ian - 'cept of course you'd have to have a little talk in the weather man's left ear 'ole - no wind and no rain is rather imperative !!!!!

Oooooh this has appeared again on my home page, thanks Ian:-) I don't want to be here, filthy weather and dark by four, I want to be there... sigh....:-) Hope Giorgio still fine?

Ah thanks Bornagain - thankfully he is back to his old tricks and playful self - he had some check up tests today just to make sure that everything is ok - will have results in a few days - but the expression on his little face fills me with great confidence !!!

Brilliant:-)))

So beautiful :-)))
