On every Friday morning during Lent, Llano Park is filled with flowers and beautiful young women. And of course, wherever there are beautiful young women, there are sure to be lots of young men. They come from the city's preparatory schools and there is a different group of schools represented each week. (
Here is last week's post.)
This past Friday was no exception and, once again, I found myself trying to figure out this event in which everyone seems so happy. I guess it is a popularity contest and some the girls show up with cheering sections loaded with flowers, while others seem pretty unsupported.
I guess it could be sad not to receive armloads of flowers, which is the determining factor in winning, but it sure does not seem like that is the case. Everyone seems like they are having a blast.
The young ladies process around a statue for close to a half hour and, as the flowers amass, guys step in to help carry them.
There is a taste of stardom with lots of local media.
It is always a fun challenge to try and get nice candid shots. Of course, it helps that the subjects are so easy on the eyes.
Stunning.... sometime the shot just happens.
Or maybe she is just photogenic.
This young lady was a real crowd favorite.
Nice shoes and a nicer tat.
She had quite a pile of flowers at the end, but.......
Here she is, in all her glory, this week's queen.
Next week is the last of the year and of course, I plan to be there.
