Five on the Fifth

"Borrowed" from Cubby:
Stephen Chapman in his blog “The State Of The Nation UK”, has a monthly feature called “Five on the Fifth” in which bloggers may participate by posting five photos on their blog and exchanging links with his.  The five pictures, taken in the days leading up to the fifth of the month, may be random or may follow his suggested theme, which this month is “Lines”.
OK, there are maybe 2 (if you stretch) that may resemble the original theme and none are in chronological order, but I hope they're enjoyable. I had fun. It is Mardi Gras weekend here at the beach, so there's that...
Many carnival birds are naked having given their all for this boa.
We are being watched from above.
Two of my favorite servers; a Russian & a Mexican.  Hysterical!

Beach Benches in a sunny moment.
A festive Mardi Gras hanging decoration in the restaurant dining room.
There, that does it for me. Oh, the stress!  Now I can prepare a festive cocktail and have a bit of dinner.

And so it goes.

    That was the easy way out, but it's a 5 out of 5!

    I like the Mardi Gras colours; I forgot it is just around the corner.

    Cool pics. I really like the one of the benches, though.

    Brilliant shots! Those benches, are they for real? Thanks for sharing.

    Hi and thanks for the comments. Everyone loves the shot of the benches so here's the truth.

    Benches like these line the 1 mile boardwalk on Rehoboth Beach.

    These lovelies are positioned in rows in a semi-circle around a large Gazebo where there are daily entertainments during the summer tourist season, as well as the gathering place for the annual AIDS walk, WAD Candlelight vigil, and the Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies - among others.

    I've shot these benches many times in all kinds of weather and they still fascinate me.

    Thanks for the visit and your comments.

    And Peter, I'll try to do better next time. This one was very short notice. Not an excuse, only an explanation. ;-)
