Do You Ride?

The Fair comes to Augusta, Georgia every October.

I fondly remember going, when I was a small child, with my older brother.

We would tear through the house looking for loose change to fund our excursion.

I went on one of my first dates to the fair and have not returned until now thirty years later.

It has not changed except it looks smaller and perhaps dirtier.

Maybe my standards are higher now.

I did enjoy all the pastel candy colors on the rides.

 

The sky was blue and crisp and the colors on the seats just stood out.

These images would have been nice for the pink photo challenge!

The Top Spin is just NUTS! I do not go upside down but will gawk at those who do.

I did not catch a picture of them upside down but good grief ya’ll.

Okay, talk to me.

Do you ride the rides at theme parks or fairs?

Photo Challenge: Red

The Friday Photo Challenge at Razmataz is Red.

I had to go looking for red as we do not have much in our houses.

We found a couple of red things at garage sales on Saturday.

I never buy things just for the blog.

Both will be put to use.

A handmade toolbox which is red and rustic.

An anchor which is a more muted red and will live somewhere in the flower garden I think.

Later in the day Saturday we went to the fair and I took many photos which I will share later.

The Twinkie sign was very very red.

I just noticed that they are fried. Oh my goodness!

We do not eat fair food.

We walk around and stare at people and watch teenagers flip upside down on those worrisome rides.

Nerds. R. Us.

Please visit Chania for more reds.
