Snow last weekend...Caribbean Sunshine this weekend! That's Calgary for you.
On Saturday we had glorious weather and I biked downtown to go join in the fun at Carrifest in Olympic Plaza. Carrifest is an annual celebration of all things Carribean...green and gold shirts were out in abundance. Jamaicans are very proud of their country.
I spotted this gentleman in the crowd enjoying the music - a steel band playing what could almost be regarded as the Don't Worry, Be Happy. I loved his bright, happy shirt!
It is a lovely shirt! I love all of your recent photos with which I have just caught up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I wish I had seen the naked cyclists-there would have been pictures if I had! It does sound like a painful thing to do though-at least the knotters looked fairly comfortable!

ReplyDeletewow snow and sun is a good combination. I am jealous as all we are getting is scorching sun and a few drops of rain and loads n loads of humidity.
ReplyDeleteI like the red shirt too.
Very peaceful looking guy... under the shade, good music, what more could you ask for?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you had to take a photo of that jacket!
ReplyDeleteAnytime a steel band is involved, you can't help but have fun! That is a lovely shirt.
ReplyDeleteLike the shirt! The colors and design is kinda similar (to me) to some of our ethnic clothes.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the summer has been good to you and you had a beautiful day. His shirt is just lovely.
