The little town of Bernal
It's only a 40 minute drive from our place and a paradise to photograph.
I'm glad the lady that sold the cactus wasn't there because I would have gone nuts!
One of the secondary squares. I loved that building with red & blue tile.
The bright Cathedral of the main square.
On another note: I was extremely happy when Stephanie Levi invited me to make a Christmas-themed guest post for her Artist Advent Calendar.
Oh! And Turbo asked me to please tell you he wishes you a very merry Christmas & New Year!

Wow, Gennine, what a colorful place to visit.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is set up something like that with similar town square and architecture. It is not nearly as colorful, though.
I envy you the photo ops.
Feliz Navidad!

1. Ese pueblo no parece de verdad, Geninne. Parece la escenografia de una pelicula. Es hermoso. Con razon tu trabajo tiene tanto color y tanta calidez! La intensidad de Mexico te entra por los ojos!
2. Me encanto ver tus arboles de Navidad y decidi que no es posible que yo ponga el mismo exacto arbol cada año. No es posible.
Feliz Navidad, no puedo creer lo bien instalada que estas ya, eres super eficiente. Yo tengo cajas de cuando llegue a Montreal, hace 4 años y medio :S Que la pasen lindo y San Nicolas te traiga lo que esperas. Muchos besos ♥
Beautiful pictures. This town is so colorful and different from what I'm used to.
That´s so beautiful place! I love the colors. Very inspirational.
Have a beautiful Christmas, Geninne.

Merry Christmas!
So colorful and interesting! Very nice photographs, I've enjoyed a bunch!
Thank you for posting these photographs, Bernal looks like a beautiful town. These are particularly awesome to view as I am in an area covered with snow and ice.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays
So colorful and beautiful! I can see where you may get some inspiration! Lovely!
What a lovely tour of this little village with such history and the great monolith!
I loved your Advent calendar blog in Ms Levy's blog and will be following her as well.
I was wondering how come you haven't seen your sister for so long!?Where does she live?I wish you to see her in 2010!Ariadne from Greece!
Merry Christmas, Geninne! Your blog and your artwork are a great inspiration to me, and I am thankful for you. Many blessings to you and yours this holiday season!
What wonderful photos! Thanks for taking us with you to Bernal. Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad!

isn't Bernal adorable!! did you guys hike up the Pena? sending you lots of love!
Thank you Geninne for your heart warming work. All the way out from Venezuela I just discovered your colors and fresh images. Started my own blog about six weeks ago and have been busy growing with it. My compromise began with one image a day. I began drawing digitally, now I am opening to other techniques/images and allowing my photographs. thank you for sharing your birds.....
Merry Christmas to you as well!
The photos are wonderful, what kind of camera do you use?

It's just a lovely town! Reminds me of a few quaint places in Arizona that had those same colored buildings... be still my heart.

I love this little town and want to go there. I think there should be bylaws imposed on people in North America to NOT allow them to paint their houses white, grey or brown.Blech!!
Thank you for taking me on a beautiful, free, little vacation away from my cold living room.
Ir ao Mexico sempre foi um sonho meu e agora mais do que nunca depois de ver estas fotos!Que loucura!
E agoraoutro assunto..34 COMENTARIOS...BOLAS!:-)))FANTASTICO
beijossssss
i love that town
what a wonderful place! I especially love the cacti.
Feliz año nuevo, Geninne, thank you for all the wonderful art you've shared this year. It brightens my day.
Wow, those succulents look gorgeous!
I will have to go on holiday to Mexico some day, the colours in all your outdoor photos are so vibrant. At the end of 2009, I just wanted to say thank you for my lovely bird prints, introducing me to Dick Blick and inspiring me to blog. Best wishes, Caroline
Hi Geninne,
My husband spent a few week in Queretaro for his Spanish immersion class in college (about 10 years ago). He's always promised to take me there. He also spent a day in Bernal. Looks so beautiful.
Happy New Year!!

kiss frm Portugal :)
