Ruby Tuesday Goes to the Summer Solstice Parade

I was in the Santa Barbara area visiting my daughter and daughter-in-law who live in Goleta and we attended the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration. This year the theme was" carnival" and the was lots and lots of rubies everywhere.

Enjoy and happy Ruby Tuesday, which is hosted by Mary. Every week, participants submit photos that contain a little or a lot or very mixed hues of ruby red. Check it out!

    I love these huge masks, It reminds me so much of the Soal Korea Olympics in that is something they did at that time. They are a lot of fun

    You can almost hear the music and the laughter while looking at these pictures. There's something so much sweeter about gatherings and parades arranged by real people rather than the corporate sponsored events we hear of so much more often.

    How fun, I'd have loved to have been there!

    (I'm keeping my header photo around - otherwise it wouldn't be "Around the Island", right?)

    Unique and fun rubies! Looks like lots of fun in the sun.

    My Ruby post was on my Photoblog which has always had the larger size photo - I love it but haven't switched on my main blog.
