Critters in Scandia

 Welcome to my post for

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and to City Daily Photo

Getting to know you, bark! Bark!





 

and kisses!




Yesterday was devoted to romping, roaring, taco-ing and critter hunting at Scandia-Marines Lions 48th Annual Taco Daze event.




Such grace, devotion, determination and hard work for these young adults and their horses.








Hanging with Gnomies!

"We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."

W. Somerset Maugham



"The secret to life is meaningless unless you discover it yourself."




Such a glorious day to be alive and among the vitality, artsy nature of others and their traditions. #BeAdventurous 








"Every animal is a tradition, and together they are a vast part of our heritage as human beings. No animal completely lacks humanity, yet no person is ever completely human."

Boria Sax







"Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderations from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit."

W. Somerset Maugham

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.

Izaak Walton 




It wouldn't be as great of an event, if it weren't for the many actually thousands and thousands of folks bringing their wit, silliness, and vintage and unusual vehicles of all makes and models to these town gatherings.




"You can do anything in this world if you're prepared to take the consequences."

W. Somerset Maugham




May there be a special Tomte in everyone's lives.

(They're usually hiding)

Sweet little Tomte and all the people who "patter about" your lives, at whatever hour of the day to enrich people's lives and "check on everyone's welfare.

Thank you for stopping by and your wonderful comments that always brighten my day.

Take good care of you and of course your Tomte!

Love the Dalarna horses. My grandfather was Swedish so we always had little ones around.

Jeff said...

Looks like fun. I like how you captured the redwing blackbird in flight... It's landing on a fence and not a cattail!

I admire anyone who can ride a horse AND wave at the same time. :-)
