I'm up at the new place for a few days before getting down to the business of packing up and moving out for good. This means that blog visits are sporadic once again or still. Thanks for bearing with me.
As promised, I have more images from last month's South Side Shuffle. This time I've focused on some of the more colourful aspects of my surroundings - aside from the people, of course.
The blues festival takes place on the shores of the Credit River in Mississauga, Ontario. Depending on where you've parked, you might have to cross a bridge to get there. This lovely painting of a trout in perpetual jump caught my eye, when we did cross the bridge. The reflection of the water on the concrete added to the effect of fluid motion in the drawing.
The many vendors around the venue had colourful items for sale. These totes dazzled my eyes.
There were blankets in case you needed a place to sit and listen to music.
Of course if you were thirsty, you only need buy a drink and grab a straw.
Cute, whimsical figures made of metal were on display.
I was tempted to get one of these comfy looking dresses but the day was hot and long, and I wasn't keen on carrying around anything more than my camera.
The beautiful colours of these beaded bracelets put me in a nostalgic mood as they reminded me of the kind of beadwork crafts my sister and I would engage in as children during our summers up north.
More photos coming up soon.

Colorful is right! These colorful photos are a feast for the eyes.
What great colors!
I hope you like packing more than I do.
Great montage of color.
I have been beginning to try to pay more attention to "little things" in my photography, but you are a master, if that isn't too masculine a word. I hesitate to call you a mistress, however. :)
Wonderful, almost shocking colors! I love the macros and your pictures make me determined to keep trying to capture my photos with more detail. :-)

Beautiful colors....(colours)...just beautiful!! You are an artist with that camera.

love all this happy color/colour
As usual, you delight my eyes by discovering the beauty in things that are there for all to see but that are not 100% seen by most of us until someone such as yourself focuses in on them.
Love the colorful images! They sure brightened my day! Thanks

Wonderful colours! Good luck with the packing.
Colorful photography, Hilary!! like it.
I like the bags, dresses, and bracelet..Quite native..
Oh, the colors are delightful.
I especially like the photo of the straws.
Happy packing and happy moving to your Forever Home.
Colourful images you have overthere. Blues as well, cheers Hilary.
Your colorful pictures are really wonderful – you have an eye for taking an interesting photograph. We were gone more than a month and I took many pictures, but don’t think they are that attractive. I am back on the computer this evening since last September - I missed it.
The bangles are indeed colorful. Good luck with all those boxes.
I love clothes and jewlery in those energetic colors. Packing. Can you get friends to help? I hope so. Take it all gently.
Beautiful and colorful photos! I have been absent a lot of late, too.
Lovely captures!
But for colors our lives would have been just black and white!
Wow, I love these. You brightened my day with them.
Those colourful straws are so pleasing to the eyes.
mmmmm... love those colours. Aren't we lucky to be surrounded with colour? What a drab world it would be if we only saw in black, white and various shades of grey!!!!!
Love all of the colors! That fish jumping at the top - so cool!
great colorful pictures.. looking forward to more.
wonderful colors!! you make everything, nature or man made, look exquisite
What wonderful colours.
Like the coloured straws a lot! You have many great images.
I have been away for a bit but looking forward to scrolling through your posts - always a lot of fun and most enjoyable.
Take care.
great colourful shots!
what a delightful post, hilary!
big hugs~
I am glad you carried your camera around! What color! Thanks for these spectacular shots.
The colors and patterns in the tote bags and blanket reminded me of Native Americans; of the vibrancy of their festival dress.
What a great theme to focus on!
