Ritva is one of our newest Lens Artists hosts. Her first challenge is Window Shopping.
I’m not much of a shopper but I’m great at window shopping. In fact, I am so busy looking at the merchandise I don’t usually think about taking photos. I managed to find three shopping images from our recent West Indies cruise.
The header photo was taken at the Carabelle Batik Factory in St. Kitts. The colorful Batik fabrics drying in the sun were just a sample of the beautiful items we found in the store. Too bad I didn’t have enough time to choose something to bring home.
Visitors can find hats, jewelry, bags, clothing, and many types of souvenirs at the market in St. Martin.

We did a little shopping and enjoyed lunch at Millie’s at the Barbados cruise ship dock.

Many thanks to our host Ritva for the challenge Lens-Artists #288 – Window Shopping

Fun response Beth – happy to see your name back in the reader. Assume from your images you’ve been traveling (again!). Fun images in what looks like fun places!

Welcome Back, Beth. Hope you had a wonderful trip. I loved all the color you brought us in your “just looking ” photos . Batik is an interesting art to witness. A pretty photo, and talent in the pieces blowing in the wind.

Many thanks! The Batik in the shop was beautiful. I wish I had bought something but I couldn’t decide and I didn’t want to miss the tour bus!

Beth, I can easily see why you would forget to use your camera while window shopping. Those colors in your photos are so vibrant. The windows are so appealing. Great post!
