(To join Blog Your Blessings Sunday, and get your name on the blogroll, click on the banner above and follow the simple instructions)I tried, but couldn't get any really good pictures of Diwali, but I promised, and so, here are some that I think are the best of the lot:
Morning : The dry fruits and the diyas!
The Water candles : There is something intriguing and beautiful about fire and water co-existing like that. Don't you think?
Evening : The Diyas have been lit. Somehow this picture doesn't look anything like the real thing, but the fault lies with the hand that took the picture. The flash illuminated the night, and killed the effect of the little diyas spreading the light...and I did not know how to turn off the flash on the camera.
Rangoli : Diwali is incomplete without a little colour...and I think now you know that no one in our family has the true gift of an artist...but, we try!
Hope you liked the pictures. Have a great week ahead!

Very nice look at how diwali is celebrated in India
Are rangoli / colored-rice art often seen too?
Interesting to learn about another culture --looks like this is really a special time for your family.
My blessing is about time this week --come and read it if you have time.
These are wonderful pictures. The little oil lamps look beautiful on the steps and in the water.
Happy BYB Sunday.
Great pictures - the food looks wonderful.
I also love floating candles - water and flame is such an enigma.
Happy BYB Sunday,
