This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Painted."
This week was tough because I have so many photos that would work for this theme. I ended up choosing some recent shots of a community art project at Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance where people were putting their painted umbrellas on this bamboo dome. It looked pretty cool.
And a couple more from the same festival:
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

I must say this is one of the most colorful posts of the day. It must have been almost overwhelming to see all this color in person.. fabulous umbrellas and most unique.
