    Costumes

    September 4, 2022

    I met a friend Friday morning for coffee and conversation. The couple I visited this past week are mutual friends so plenty to share. As you can tell my barista was showing off her talent on my mocha latte.

    Yesterday was the Tour de Fat in Fort Collins. It is a costumed bicycle parade followed by a party (beer) at New Belgium Brewing with music, entertainment, contests and games. What is cool about this bicycle parade is the children who dress up and ride with mom and dad. Needless to say I saw some very strange people riding bicycles. 😂

    Happy Halloween

    Maggie and Jack – Love their smiles

    I’ve never been too excited about Halloween and that’s true today. However, I know that there are many who feel differently and celebrate the day with enthusiasm and style. I’m making another assumption but with masks as a requirement for much of the world we probably will see more people dressed down from previous years, or not. Anyway, enjoy your Saturday and the candy corn pieces.

    The King and Queen

    The King and Queen

    The temperature this morning in Columbus was -1 degrees and 5:20 am and it is only suppose to reach 20 degrees today. That’s way too cold for this old guy who would much prefer a mocha latte next to a warm fire or maybe a tropical beach. Todays image of the King and Queen, is from a few years ago at a renaissance festival in Larkspur, Colorado. If you’ve never been to one of these events, your missing some  wonderful photo opportunities. You will find smiling faces, people of all sizes and shapes and color, jesters, food, games, entertainment, gift shops, music. What amazed me the most was all the costumes. They were vibrant with colors and works of art themselves. Then when you wrap the costume around a vibrant smiling person we have a great photo. And, let me tell you, it was warmer than today!

    Imaginations

    Rainbow of Colors

    It is cold in Myrtle Beach, 37 degrees to be exact. We have a long overnight so after breakfast I decided to take a walk. I put on a winter coat and headed outdoors. Across the street from the hotel is an abandoned shopping mall that has always intrigued me as a place for photo opportunities. I walked over to see what I could find and was granted a lovely surprised. The surprise included lots of colors, shapes and some wonderful people. Located on the opposite side of the mall is a costume store, a BIG costume store. It’s name is Imaginations Creative Costumes. Did I mention it was BIG? They tempt you as you walk by with beautiful colors and costumes in their display windows. The temptation was too great so I just had to step inside to experience it. Let me tell you it’s BIG.
