I made a bouquet with flowers in blue (ok mostly purple) and yellow (as our flag) from my garden and a cake made of moss model ”princesscake” decorated with a rose.

A Rua da Alegria, em Trancoso, outrora conhecida como Rua da Judiaria, é um testemunho vivo da história e beleza da vila. Localizada no centro histórico medieval, outrora protegida pelas muralhas de D. Dinis, esta via empedrada com fachadas em granito conserva o traçado estreito característico da região. A antiga praça-forte, com importância estratégica na defesa da fronteira, viu esta sua rua transformar-se num atrativo turístico singular: há cerca de 40 anos, uma moradora iniciou o cultivo de hortênsias que, no final de junho, florescem abundantemente, decorando ambos os lados da rua e atraindo visitantes e fotógrafos. As hortênsias, agora símbolo da rua, coexistem com a memória da presença judaica, visível em insígnias nas ombreiras, e com a arquitetura medieval preservada, refletindo técnicas construtivas tradicionais da Beira Interior.

Rua da Alegria, in Trancoso, formerly known as Rua da Judiaria, is a living testimony to the history and beauty of the village. Located in the medieval historic center, once protected by the walls of D. Dinis, this cobbled street with granite facades retains the narrow layout characteristic of the region. The old stronghold, strategically important in defending the border, saw this street become a unique tourist attraction: about 40 years ago, a resident began growing hydrangeas, which bloom profusely at the end of June, decorating both sides of the street and attracting visitors and photographers. The hydrangeas, now a symbol of the street, coexist with the memory of the Jewish presence, visible in the insignia on the doorposts, and with the preserved medieval architecture, reflecting traditional construction techniques from Beira Interior.

Onam is an annual festival celebrated in Kerala, India. It is a harvest festival celebrated by Malayalam irrespective of religion. According to legends, the festival is celebrated to commemorate King Mahabali, whose spirit is said to visit Kerala at the time of Onam.

Onam is a major harvest festival, one of three major Hindu celebrations along with Vishu and Thiruvathira, and it is observed with numerous festivities. Onam celebrations include Vallam Kali (boat races), Pulikali (tiger dances), Pookkalam (flower Rangoli), Onathappan (worship), Onam Kali, Tug of War, Thumbi Thullal (women's dance), Kummattikali (mask dance), Onathallu (martial arts), Onavillu (music), Kazhchakkula (plantain offerings), Onapottan (costumes), Atthachamayam (folk songs and dance), and other celebrations.

All things bright and beautiful. I adore flowers of all kinds but love roses and carnations the most. I bought these wonderful flowers for a married female friend so could not give them to her but she knew they were for her. I took this photo with my Canon DSLR camera but have lost the camera info from the photo as I downsized it as it was huge

... you can't go (bike) wrong with a whale and flower decoration “on board“ ; ))
