My turn!

No hurricanes or storms here. Barely even a cloud in the sky.
Life is good!

Took a walk at Bell Park today.
'Summerfest' is happening all weekend.

And that's just the damage I was able to assess in the dark, we were without power for over 10 hours. It might all look worse when daylight breaks.

Good times.

Holy crap on a cracker! I didn't mean to sound so flip about our great weather.
I hope you get things fixed up quickly.

I did hear Quebec got hit very hard. Sorry to here about your personal issues. We sometimes forget what it is like until we too go through something like this. Good luck. JIM

OMG! That's awful. I thought the storm veered to the northeast and that you might be spared. Very sorry to here that.

While I'm stuck here in VT the damage was pretty extensive in the south, but didn't hit much where I was staying. At least 3 historic covered bridges got washed away. All in all we got about 2 months worth of rain in about 12 hours. The local university is closed today and the state fair closed yesterday.

I hope that's the extent of the damage FP.. though that's bad enough.

I'm not the host this TW3 but I had a thought that perhaps we should extend this TW3 until next weekend or so. The reason being that the hurricane has affected in one way or the other a number of our eastern US/Canada members and should one of them end up as the next host, it might be a bit of a struggle for them. I'm guessing on all of this. Thoughts?

Mongooz: Some great outdoors shots! You definitely can elicit emotion from me with those fungi shots.

Jeff: Great angles in some of these.. and that bug light creeps me out.

Tim: I think I'm good with whatever Mr. Pink decides when we get his decision. I'm working 8 in a row, but I can always find time should I be that lucky against this week's great submissions. btw, loved Santa Rosa Depot.

Mike: I can't remember if I mentioned how much I like Wine Glasses.. I can see that printed large in a winery.

Ken: I really love that wooden structure picture and the fence shot, great eye.

My final two for the week.

I absolutely agree... extended...

Extended 'til when? Can I post more pretty pictures?

TW3 is extended to ---- 9/6 the day after labor day --- Post away...

I'll assume we're entitled to another set of 3 pictures, so here are 3 taken this week at the 2011 Champlain Valley Fair:

Screaming Fun!
