Street Scene Critters

 "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Welcome to 


SATURDAY'S CRITTERS


and also posting to City Daily Photo


Yesterday was a fully loaded and packed heavy day with vehicle shows, firetruck shows, parades, 150 Year Celebration for the Farmington Fire Department and Lakeville's one and only Pan-O-Prog celebration. 

(This was quite possibly one of their biggest turnouts ever!)


Some critters today are icons!




Of course, some live animals!




Car shows means metal critters for our delight too!




Wouldn't be fair to leave out cookie critters walking the parade!




Eeyore is and has been one of my favorites!




"It's okay to not be okay,

 some days are just harder than others."

Remember, "It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine." Eeyore




I'm a firm believer in more than one dog in a family. They need a buddy/partner.

"If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic." Dale Carnegie



Aren't horses graceful?




The simple key to attitude is beating attitude. Make enthusiasm your passion!

No matter what others might think!

Bark if you must. Roar!  Just get on with it!




Meet the barkers! Little did I know that they'd be kitty corner from me during the parade, barking at every moving thing that passed by!

Of course, they were barking in pure enjoyment!



ADVICE from Road Runner.

Be quick. Full speed ahead. Hit the ground running.

 Get off the beaten track.

Kick up some dust.



Beep, beep, BEEP!










The simple truth is this, we are always highly motivated when something means a great deal to us.
But. Why? Stop there? Make things a big deal. BE EXCITED!  No matter what.




"You cannot have an empty or neutral mind,
 as long as you work the mind,
it will contain dreams. If you stop working, it will contain regrets."
Amit Kalantri




"Today is life - the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto."
Dale Carnegie
