Festival season is approaching. Wahoo!

Rose Monday sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri
Rose Monday Festival costumed participant sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri 1 March 2015 acrylics on 8x11 paper. I drew and painted this sort of like the photo I saw in the BBC news recently. I modified it some of course.  The point is to remind people that the festival season is approaching and when spring gets here, there will be hundreds of festivals around the world.

I googled the "Rose Monday Festival" and this is what I learned: 

From wikipedia: "Rosenmontag (Rose Monday) is the highlight of the German "Karneval" (carnival), and is on the Shrove Monday before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.[1] "Mardi Gras," though celebrated on Tuesday, is a similar event. Rosenmontag is celebrated in German-speaking countries, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but most heavily in the "Hochburgen" (carnival strongholds), which include the Rhineland, especially in Cologne,[2] Bonn, Düsseldorf,[3] Aachen and Mainz." And "The Karneval season begins at 11 minutes past the eleventh hour on the 11th of November and the "street carnival" starts on the Thursday before Rosenmontag, which is known as Weiberfastnacht ("women's carnival").  See images Google collected of it :

 I am adding some of my photos and art I created to this blog intermittently, so I add my symbols that represent me below:



This is my signature I created in digital ink for a personal logo for this year.

This is one of my photos of the U S flag I photographed on walkabout to remind all I am a U S citizen with all civil liberties including freedom of Press, freedom to worship THE LORD GOD, and freedom to associate with whomever I want or not to associate with those GOD labels "abomination" and freedom to protest governments.


 This is my hand on one of my christian cross necklaces in selfie from 2014 to remind all that I am Southern Baptist Christian and do not make nor worship images of GOD, and do not bow down to any idol or man-made thing in keeping with GOD's commandment in Exodus 20:13, KJV.
