Day-um! I'm still eight hours ahead of my time zone, and wake up too early to suit me or my cat. I went to the Kalispell Farmer's Market this morning, and tied up my sagging tomato cages this afternoon, while Red-Tail Hawks hunted overhead.

Media Watch: The great Bela Lugosi in a couple of early-30's creepers on TCM -- Island of Lost Souls and Murders in the Rue Morgue. Both of which were too sexually charged and sadistic to be really popular in their time, and are still a bit uncomfortable today, despite their melodramaticly overwrought styles.


Lovely Camille looks on as equally beautiful Rhonna gives her brother Pascal some "stick" as he stands inside a giant goddess puppet during a parade at a nearby flea market during Footsbarn's 35th Anniversary Celebration in Central France.

Deer and raptors in the early morning, as I was heading out for the NW Montana Fair Parade. I've been back for only 30 hours, but I'm working again.

Josephine Biereye's beautiful costumes for The Bluebird by Maurice Maeterlink, performed by her mother's company Ton and Kirchen (Clay and Berries) from Potsdam, Germany.

Media Watch: Carole Lombard movies on TCM this morning -- great actress, but there are an awful lot of second rate screwball comedies in her cirricula vitae.


CHAPITEAU NAPO -- the 500 seat tent, set up by famous master circus engineer Napo at La Chaussee in 6 hours, with the help of four assistants. I saw both Pierre Byland and Nola Rae perform under this big top. (Picture uploaded 8/19/2006 -- thanks for the spelling tip, Suse!)
