Wild Crowd

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is WILD.

Here is an entry in my main blog for wild.

Below is a photo that I took some months back when we went to watch Russ Swift do precision driving stunts. While Russ Swift was doing his stunts like J turns and donuts and two car-wheelies, the crowds went wild with cheers and applause.

The crowd went wild!
The crowd went wild!

Welcome to my Treasure Jar

Treasure Jar is one of our new homes in the world wide web.

Here I will try to document treasured finds, not necessarily ones that will fit into a treasure jar because a treasure chest would be fine too 🙂

You are welcome to read about the items, places, events and services that I will be featuring here and you are welcome to write your review as well.
