I Quit

Can't do it, tried but just couldn't.  I honestly tried to participate in "The August Break" which was intended to give us bloggers a little break in blogging during the month of August.  Just post a picture, no words necessary or few words necessary.  But somehow this not posting but one or few pictures and none or few words is leaving me too stressed.  I may take a break in February or July, but not August, not this August anyway.  I don't know about you but I take pictures, lots of pictures and to limit myself to one is too darn stressful.  I know that must not make any sense to some, but to me I need to post multiple images and multiple words....so August Break, I am done.  This blog is a journal of my days,  and I can't sum up my day in no words and one picture..uh huh, no way.  So....I am back to multiple words and lots of pictures, just can't seem to take that break.

Yesterday, Marti and I attended a French Connection Day at one of our local public parks.  There was entertainment, a French style market place, food and fun.  And a day that was perfect, cool and a little overcast, it was heaven and to top it off it has rained a good part of the day today.

There was a juggler on stilts that would practice his skills above the heads of spectators.....not me, no way

The French Market vendors were dressed very French-like....isn't she just too cute??

Whew...we are safe, Batman is among the crowd.  (Face painting was a popular booth)

The single balloon began to make noise and many rushed forward....not sure if they thought they were all going to fit into that little basket.

A cutie enjoying herself at the water spouts....

Then after wandering thru the vendors, eating something tummy pleasing that probably had a million calories we decided to stroll through the gardens.  The flowers were spectacular, hard to believe they looked this good after the summer we have had.

This could almost pass for Monet's garden...

This year the colors were brights...bright pinks, bright yellows, bright reds, bright oranges...

Linking to Rosy's Color Me Weekly....

The orange and red zinnias were just wowzers...

Even the birds and butterflies seem to match the color scheme for the season...

Have you ever seen dahlia's that have almost black leaves??  There were just bunches and bunches of these which created a spectacular sight...

Between the oranges, the yellows, the blacks and brights this was quite a presentation.

A fun, fun day!!

Adding a barn to join up with Trish's Barn Charm that I captured a week ago while my sister-in-law and I took that drive in the country.

Hope you have a terrific adventure this week....!!!
