AFTER A SHOWER

Enlarge for best view, thank you.
My freesias are opening beautifully. I’m not sure if the water drops are from the lawn sprinklers or early morning dew. Whatever is the case I liked it.

Christine and I have never been interested in going to watch the Carnival defile. But after going to Acireale (Sicily) to watch their Carnival 2 years ago and (for me) because of 365, and also on a suggestion from my sister (and her husband), we decided to go with them and my elder brother (and his wife) to Valletta last night to watch the Maltese Carnival. It has been some 40/50 years since I went to watch it personally. It was a spectacle of colours and blaring music together with lots of people along the streets for the event. We had a great time and so did the camera, of course. I took loads of shots – at a first glance they seem to have come out well in the difficult conditions prevailing.
At one time it started to drizzle and we thought the weather would ruin the defile but it only lasted a few seconds. At around mid-night, when we were already home, we had a short hail storm because it was quite cold. I hope it didn’t damage the carnival floats.
I will show some shots of the event after I upload them on the computer.

Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday’s picture.
A definite fav
