I’m not a wearer of masks, but couldn’t help being attracted to these beautiful carnival masks in Venice. I quite fancy the blue one below and regret not buying it or maybe the bird mask. Pop over to Ailsa to unmask more interpretations.
I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

Beautiful!
They are rather glamorous aren’t they?
Yes, I agree Jude, the blue one is beautiful although like you, I’m not into masks. But I do like dressing up in costumes, such as an Eqyptian princess for a murder mystery this weekend…at least, I hope so, it’s been postponed once already… 😮
Egyptian Princess! I’d love to see a picture of that 🙂
I’ll send you one…if I’m brave enough 🙂
Kind of spooky, some of them… but I know someone who has a great collection 🙂 🙂
Now let me guess who that might be…
Mmmm… I am seeing ‘Nottingham’ 😀
I can admire the detail, and the beautiful colours, but I’m like some of the other folks here and find these kinds of masks a little bit spooky. I think I prefer the ones that just cover the eyes.
