1.

One of these things is not like the other.  Can you pick it out?  -  I drained some macaroni for a salad I was making and found an intruder in the mix.  Couldn't pass up taking a photo of it.

2.

Just another shot of the Whirlygigs that are on the campus at Walla Walla Community College.  I think they are fun and colorful.

3.
We went for a Picnic over Memorial Day and on the way back I snapped this photo.  There use to be some sort of a water system that piped water to the town of Milton-Freewater years ago.  All that is left now are broken pieces of the trestle lines.  I wish I could find more information on it but after search for some time this morning I gave up.  It's still a really cool photo.

4. Belly-Dancers performing in the park last weekend.


Here is something you probably didn't know but when I was much younger (in my 30's) I actually took a few Belly Dancing lessons from this very group.  I wasn't great at it and I didn't take the lessons very long but it was fun.  Check out this gal:  Now that is talent.
 
 
 
 
5.  Some colorful puppets we saw at the Craft Fair in the park last weekend.  Coleen didn't buy one of these but she did purchase a little tiger puppet.
 
 
Time for the cats.....
 


 
FELINE FRIDAY:  The Original Photo:
 
 
 
The cats got a new toy.  Bandit seems bored here but he loves the toy.  So does Spooky-boo who was really having fun with this.
 
 
Have a great weekend.  I've got company for the day so I may be awhile viewing your posts.

  9. Congratulations, TexWisGirl!

    I saw the bow in your macaroni...I was relieved because I was looking for something much worse! That would make a great jigsaw puzzle.

  24. Fun on Friday! Or on Sunday for those of us bloggers who are chronically behind times. Love how you made a painting out of the kitty photo ...and the Iris in your header. Just lovely. If we ever get back to our first home town (Clarkston) again, I will make sure to stop at the WWCC campus ..those whirligig art pieces are fun and I love outdoor art. (We have no family left in Clarkston, so when we are in oregon for the summer nowadays we don't make that trip. In our other life, when we lived in Oregon and still had parents and other family up there, we traveled the Columbia gorge hwy, thru walla walla and then to the lewiston Clarkston valley at least a million times!
