osprey_archerAt last my photos have been uploaded! There are quite a few of them. I will go back and post some of my travel photos, but first! A few photos I have taken since my return.
On Saturday, we had Global Fest, which is a yearly international festival in the local community center. My mom runs the food booths, so I went along to help out; in fact it all went so smoothly that all the help she needed was for me to fetch coffee a couple of times, so mostly I watched the performances (some not-very-polished ceili dancing, and a splendid performance of Chinese dances with fans) and admired the displays.
One envisions tiny Borrower-type people coming upon the bonsai and enjoying this unusual chance to climb a tree.
There was also a lovely pottery demonstration, which wasn't particularly international, but as the community center has a pottery room I guess they figured "Why not?" It's always fun to watch people do something they do well.
In previous years I've also enjoyed watching the bobbin-lace makers, but this year I never seemed to come into the room while they were actually making lace. Oh well. Maybe next year?
And a couple more photos, from yesterday's long walk:
What I like about this yard is that any one of these things would look kitschy on a store shelf, but you put them all together in the yard with the black-eyed Susans and the whole thing seems so alive and full of color. I'm curious what the creatures in the chairs are watching.
