We were just returning from a walk around the pond when we happened upon this little girl - a guest at a neighbour's birthday party. She might have been hoping that she could float along with her balloons.
A few days later, we took a day trip to a town called Port Perry, Ontario. We were walking along the main street when this psychedelic van drove by. The driver saw me lift the camera to my eye and she smiled proudly.
And now without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. I have fewer than usual this week because I'm still trying to catch up on reading, and on uploading and sorting through my own photos. Hopefully I'll have more for you next time but I hope you enjoy this week's selections.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

AWESOME van and POTW! I should not push my own posts, but I just blogged the song we wrote about my bealge and the dead squirrel in the middle of the road...
Lovely shots, haven't seen a van like that for years. I had a friend who had a pink paiseley hearse when in high school.Love the balloons and remeber wanting to float with them.
I can see the driver smiling :)
and the little girl is a delight
what a cool van....cool pic of the kid with the balloons as well...congrats everyone!
Love that car and appreciate you sorting through and finding posts of the week so we can enjoy! :)
Oh, my goodness! I'm mentioned TWICE? I don't know if I can live up to that, but I'll try my best. You'll make an honest man of me yet, Hilary!
I think I should get me a van like that. LOL

Aww, thanks.

I can relate to wanting to float away with the balloons--nice catch.
Congrats as well to your POTW awardees--off to check them out now.
You are so dear to include me in your POTW. I am honored and a little pleased. I love that story. It's like a little present from my past, albeit a stinky one. Oma Linda

These photos are just wonderful, Hilary! Sorry I have not been by to visit too often these days! Thanks for the POTW.
Hilary, thanks for stopping by my blog!! And thanks to TexWisGirl for pointing you in my direction. I love the first photo on your post. It's a classic!
An old VW Van painted just like that would be my dream ride.
Yeah, i'm weird.
So colorful this week, Hilary! I like the van with red hubs!
Oh, I like that car!

Glad you've got Suldog's post in as the Post of the Week. It is a must read, I agree. :)

What fun photos, Hilary! Great round up, as always. :)
What a fun van! Looks like hippie days again. Those balloons are so colourful, I hope the little girl had fun.
These are wonderful pictures. I love the child reaching for the balloons. Thanks for these posts.
As always, thank you for doing such wonderful research!
Thanks, everyone. You're all too kind.
Dear Hilary, love that car! I sure would not mind driving that one on my long trips each day.;) Thank you for this brief greeting of summer.
Gosh, I am so WAY behind with blogging these days, as I have manged to find a tenant to my house, thus will soon be packing my belongings into storage.;) Am contemplating taking a break, but then again, I know I will have some spare time in between and will miss writing and visiting.;)
Thank you for the nomination, how lovely that is, I found it through the comments that kind people left.;) Glad you thought that post was worth this mention.;)
Take care dear friend.;)
xoxo
Look at the huge smile on the woman driving the psychedelic van. The mesmerizing design and colors must do that to her.
Truly delightful pictures.
Love the vivid colors in the balloon shot, and the van is a fabulous find!
Thanks for finding the POTW's, I'll have to check them out!
LOVE that van!
Thank you Ms. Hilary!
