Mayne Island Celebrates May Day
Each May long weekend Mayne Island celebrates May Day. Each year I join in the celebrations and my husband takes some of the pictures. This year he took all of them.
Expect this one.
The Morris dancers...dance
The pole carriers...carry
We follow...
them to the park.
Where they raise the May pole.

We admire the pole.
Then we follow the Green Man over to the labyrinth.
The old May Queen enters the labyrinth. You see her. Don't you? She's in the pretty yellow dress.
What will she do?
She'll crown the new May queen.
Then the Green Man says a word or two to help our hearts sing with the thoughts of the coming summer.
Then we return to the May pole.
Do you see me? I'm standing in front of the tree.
I'm watching the children dance.
Then it's my turn to join in the dancing.
We weave while we dance.
Yeah, we're women -- we have to multitask.

Yes, that is what she will do.

Please read my writing
In addition to taking these amateur photos, I write.My writing is much better than my photography. Trust me.
Of course, you are the final judge. So please check them out and tell me what you think.
I have two writing blogs...
The Maynely A Mystery blog (www.maynelyamystery.blogspot.com) for information regarding my cozy mystery set on Mayne Island.
My brand new blog (www.authorleannedyck.wordpress.com) about author Leanne Dyck's life on a small island.
And a one knitting blog
This blog will be deleted soon (http://oknitting2.blogspot.com) Why will it be deleted? Is it as bad as my photography? Um, no nothing is as bad as my photography. It's simply that this blog -- titled Designer's Note -- was about my career as a knitwear designer. And as I have decided to walk a different path -- a writer -- this blog has been rendered obsolete.
Is this all? you ask
Oh, no, my friend there is no end to my fun. To find out what I've been up to, please log on to www.oknitting.com
