Very brightly lit.

This is very pretty.

christmas lights across the street here.

yes....for once :)

Hi Trix ... I think that's such a funny ad ...... did the link work?

OMG MD....thats sooo funny.....but true!!!!!

Hi Trix ... the earlier comments on here about pandas ...... this was what I was thinking of. If the link doesn't work for you .... go to YouTube and type in KitKat panda tv advert.

LMAO

figures....it's called "coyote pond", yet all we see are pandas!!!!!!!

Mira ...... you saw them????  So I was right.   :D

ROFL MD ... a panda cancan!  :D

Trix ..... that sounds brilliant. It's a case of looking at the right cam at the right time. The prairie pothole has probably had 23 pandas doing a dance while we were looking elsewhere. No need to tell me pandas don't live there ....... :D

Mira .... informative link.  :)

Cool Trix!  :) 

This page has some good photos and info about the tournament ...

MD...I looked and the street was empty....the crowds were moved back....i watched knowing something was going to happen....guys swept the street then a line of maybe 20 men then a group of maybe 30 people then the horses with riders!!!!!

Trix ..... did they go through the crowd?

horses

Mira ... one minute I was on Opentopia .... went for a quick game of Freecell ... back to Opentopia and it said "Server not found." Then I tried everything else .... nada. Maybe the servers were on strike. LOL    I have to agree about The IT Crowd. So silly ..... but fun.  :D

LOL ... it's like an episode of The IT Crowd ... "Have you tried turning it off and on again??"  ;D  They always recommend we do that with our modem after an outage ... it seems to "reboot" the system and speed up performance.  :)

There must be a really great carnival atmosphere at this place.

Mira ..... so many people there...... I love to see events well attended.

As for the internet ..... I had to wait for my daughter to give me some advice. I'd already tried closing down and starting up again. My BT box showed all 3 blue lights ... as it's supposed to. My daughter suggested switching the box off .... waiting a few minutes and putting it back on. And that did the trick. :)

Bummer MD ... glad it's back for you now.  Did you call BT or just sit tight?  We lose internet periodically out here too ... Centurylink are pretty good at sorting things out promptly though.

I see there are horsemen on that big screen now ... it's a pity they don't come down toward the camera.
