2151. at the carnival

 


at the carnival
rides, games, bingo, food and more
people people people
*
spending their
nickels, dimes, and paper dollars
for ten thousand laughs



Friday night at the annual Holy Martyrs Carnival in Oreland. Tonight’s the last night, 6 to 10PM.

Seasons change. Summer ends turning over to Fall. Temperatures fall, overnight it seems, and the wind blows bringing things to an end, falling down to the ground—leaves on trees and summer flowers, cicadas, crickets, beetles, fireflies, too. Yet some things stand tall and keep blowing in the wind. 

Dahlias are known for standing out in a crowd. They like to stand tall, some as high as 6 feet with blossoms 8 to 12 inches across! The dahlia flower is a symbol of inner strength and perseverance in times of adversity and in 1963 was declared the National Flower of Mexico.
