Today I'm taking another picture from Grace's travels. These are from the market in Aix en Provence. Something about these spices just says exotic:
And up close, they just make me want to dig my hands in and watch them pour through my fingers.

Very very cool photo. I don't think I've ever seen such volume of spice and all so colorful.
Oh, yummy! And so colorful, too. Thanks for sharing....

Glad you're having fun via my pictures! Love you
Here's my Saturday Snapshot
They are so pretty looking.
The colors alone have exotic written all over them. Beautiful!
so interesting to see spices laid out like this! I just want to dig my hands in the containers :)
I thought that they were pies initially!
Grace, I think you have an eye for interesting photographs like your mother.
I love the colors!
This is how they sell spices? How cool is that? the smell must be something else, too.

Those bright colored spices are so beautiful! They do make me want to dig in (like colorful clay). :)
That is really cool... who knew spices could be beautiful!
The spices look so inviting and delicious! The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. I agree with you, I'd love to run my fingers through them and smell the, too!
Is there a simple way of learning how to use spices like which spice belongs to fish, chicken, lamb, etc...?
Mmmmm. I can almost smell the aromatic atmosphere.
:)
The colours are so wonderful. They are very tempting. I love seeing them displayed this way. So much more enticing than packets.
Leave it to the French to make spice display a work of art!
How spectacular the fragrances must be.
Ah, the spices for sale at the Aix market. Brings back great memories.
