SouthWest Florida Sunday

Notice everyone in the family is holding a bird.
Yesterday, Don and I took a ride up to Flamingo Island Flea Market, one of our favorite places. It was a picture perfect day and we met some people who rescue Parrots of all types. They had a half dozen birds there for the day, out of somewhere near 30 birds. They visit hospitals and nursing homes with them. Such caring people. It warms my heart. Here's Don with a friend.

Bluegrass Jam

On Sundays there is a Bluegrass Jam at Flamingo Isle Flea Market in Bonita. The musicians rotate sets on a small stage beneath a salmon striped tent which probably holds 60 or so people. Adjacent is a bar that serves drinks and a limited menu of burgers, dogs, bbq & and nachos. Sunday fun in SW Florida and it's free. The impromptu jam invites all 'musicians at heart' to bring their instruments and join in any time or just hang backstage and soak up some knowledge from the pros, some of whom have recorded with well known names. I'm hoping to get some people paintings out of the shots I took. The music was great!
