The Indalo is a prehistoric magical symbol found in the cave of "Los Letreros" ("The Signboards") in Sierra de María-Los Vélez Natural Park in Vélez Blanco, Almería, Andalusia, Spain. It has been customary to paint the Indalo symbol on the front of houses and businesses to protect them from evil (similar to Kokopelli of the south-western US) and is considered to be a god totem. The indalo has an origin in the Levante, Spain and dates back to 2500 BC. The pictograph was named in memory of Saint Indaletius, and means Indal eccius (Messenger of the Gods) in the Iberian language.
Sculpture of the man of Indalo in Almería
Legend has it that the Indalo was a ghost that could hold and carry a rainbow in his hands (thus the arch over the head of the man). The Indalo has been adopted as the official symbol in the province of Almería. The Indalo symbol is used as a lucky charm in the Almería region also. To carry the charm is only beneficial if it has been presented as a gift. Some people also believe that the story behind the symbol of the Indalo man is about a man who escapes in a cave to get away from the rain, then when the rain stops, out comes a rainbow and when the man walks away from the wall of the cave, the image is left there. The American indigenous rights organization Cultural Survival uses an Indalo symbol on its logo.

Getting back into the Thursday barn walk groove was straightforward enough, except that I'd forgotten my camera. So this is unashamedly fauxlaroid.
A Thursday Brunch took place at the hotel's indoor rooftop pool bar!

Happy Truck Thursday!
Thursday is one of my best days to enjoy solo dolly time (if only the dogs would cooperate by letting me out of their sight more often!), so I pick one neglected shelf Poppy to redress/photograph. The lovely Bonjour Mademoiselle got the opportunity today. All my girls are feeling jealous of those 2018 IFDC girls. ;)
It's Thursday, make sure you strut yourself today even if no one is watching. Besides if you don't, NO ONE WILL!!!
Embrace the turkey, Be one with the turkey, Be the turkey.
Be well and be blessed. Also remember, for all things holy, be nice to one another!
Enjoy.
I love the name Violet.
When I was pregnant, Violet was on my short list of names, but the mister, he didn't like it, thought the name was too crunch.
Miss A loves to wear her bangs in her face. It earned her the nickname Violet, after Violet Parr, a favorite character in our home.
Cleaning up the studio on Tuesday, my girl grabbed this mask from my props bag, prompting me to grab the 660 and shoot.
I love that we have the same mouth.
Happy Love Thursday!
