Summertime

Ok! It’s been a long while, I know… I admit, I didn’t feel like blogging for awhile, because facebook has me in it’s evil addictive clutches.
I notice most of you, my blogger friends, haven’t been blogging lately either, but facebooking, so I’m not alone. We’re all there chatting & sharing pictures… but I’m going to try to get back to this, I promise.
I’m due to post about my summer, so here it is, picture essay style. 
Caribana was amazing, as usual. (all Caribana posts & pics are on http://karabana.blogspot.com/) It’s always extra fun to bring new masqueraders with us, & I know our new friends are hooked
!!
Good times
at our last fete of the season with our fete crew.
Lilies in my garden. 
I was surprised to see a young deer drinking water from the creek along the trail where I run on July 3. This was taken with my old camera phone, & unfortunately, it won’t enlarge.


My favourite summer sound, cicadas. Just love hearing their loud buzz on a hot day, and it’s the kind of white noise I like while sleeping. This one got trapped in a tomato plant water bottle. (yes, I freed it.
)
One of the fantastic things about the trail are the wild flowers that grow there. Every month or so, there’s a whole new crop of something, so very different from the last… like this solid, sturdy soft plant/flower that feels like chenille.

I shot this field of yellow with my new phone cam- not too bad, huh? 
One afternoon I looked up to see what all the noise was.
A squirrel with an apple. Was he ever a messy eater. He’d bite a chunk out of the crab apple, chew, then spit it out.
My Easter lilies that bloom in July, lol! 
HEY I JUST COMMENTED AND MY COMPUER DID SOMETHING FUNKY - knew I should of cut and paste
So as I was saying —– Glad you got back to blogging. I need to as well, all I have been doing is posting pictures
Yes we are hooked - I wish Sally had costumes for ‘08 out already!!!
So hmmm no pictures of the freaks of nature from the trail.. Has this encouraged the hubby to start running with you?? I never got your wall post back because I don’t have the advanced wall - I’m not advanced, I;m a little slow - I’ve burned too many brain cells in my time
plus i REFUSE to add to many apps to my facebook
So season starting yet again - can’t wait till Carnival Showdown!!!! JUMP UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you guess who Anonymous is - can’t log in - not too sure - told you I’m not advanced LOL
Buublenut? Is that you?
hah hah
I didn’t get to talk to any of the section leaders about the theme for ‘08 at the fete… but basically, it’s about which colour will I want… & I’m yet to play in dark green, purple, orange & maybe see how yellow would look, but I’d have to get much darker than I ever have. Ditto for white/silver.
I’ll see if I can send my answer to your reg wall… yeah, I know about the applications, it can get out of control, I must delete some, I know I have a lot, lol!
Nah, didn’t post here about the “freak in nature”, maybe in my fall post! Your question - hubby can answer…
Yep its all about colour and headpiece
Funny how no matther what we blogg about it always comes back to Carnival LOL
You are very very professional.I dream i could do such a great job as you do.
highly readable and, in part, quite entertaining….the website is certainly worth a visit
