My husband could win this one hands down. He loves them! Not me. I am not much of a seafood eater at all. I love shrimp and haddocl and that's about it.

But, I must say the photo does make look tasty!!

Happy week Joanne!!

Sounds like a lot of fun, as long as I don't have to eat. I'm not much of a seafood eater. I still think it would be fun watching the contest though.

I like seafood, but never took to mussels or oysters and really have a hard time imagining swallowing these--though I hear they are good for you! It sounds like quite a spectacle as an eating contest, though!

Icy, It should be fun. I plan to get some photos and video of the event.

Jackie, thanks for stopping by. While I do love some seafood, this is not my favorite but it's fun to watch.

betchai, I really don't like oysters at all but I enjoy going to the event.

Ratty, that's exactly why I am going, to watch and hopefully get s0ome good photos and video.

kikamz, lol!!! Thanks for visiting and sharing your story.

WillOaks, I'm with you but it is so much fun to watch.

Slitype, it is much fun to stand on the sidelines and become amazed at the competitors :)

Bangchik, Same here, any other fish I can do but oysters, not my favorite.

Mountain Woman, know what you mean :)

Definetly looks like a good event, and what one person can't resist oysters. (of course those who don't enjoy, can)

How did the event go in the end?

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
