Carny and Rides, County Fair

Carny and Rides, County Fair

The Pinellas County Fair landed in the England Brothers Park in Pinellas Park (Fla.) in March 2011. One of the carnies, whose ride was located near the entrance/exit, saw the camera. "You here to photograph the fair?" he wanted to know. "You should take my picture!" He went on to tell me that he'd spent most of his life working carnivals and fairs, "just working the circuit. It's a great life, if you don't have no ties!" There was something almost sad, though, in the way he said that, even as he was hamming it up.

The third photo was done alone on October 10. This group was last posted on October 16, 2019.

Earth Day

Earth Day - Thomas Hallock teaches at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. One of his classes, taught once a year, is a Nature Writing class. The first time the class was taught, the class held a clean-up of Salt Creek, a waterway that runs from Lake Maggiore to Bayboro Harbor.
