WELCOME AUGUST

Here in Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 
AUGUST is STEELPAN MONTH
]
After World War II and the presence of US military bases, discarded industrial 55-gallon oil drums became readily available to creative hearts and hands and so today, there is the steel pan, the only major acoustic musical instrument invented in the 20th century. [steelpan from Pinterest, Calendar from google]

    Love the music. Those cloud shots are so different. Several great haikus today, especially "steel pan day." What a wonderful music inspired summertime entry you gave us for Erika's theme at AJJ. Happy AFFF and FFO, too.

    I really liked that banana fronds haiku. I can even hear them...And your summer fun piece is great. Dancing is always fun, but outdoors and in the summer when you get all hot...it's a great memory for me. (Even though I still dance around the house.:) ) Thanks for linking up at AJJ and have a super Friday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika

    This is such a joyful post. I love that first piece of art. Interesting about after ww2 and the oil drums. Your Haiku are always so beautiful. I do enjoy seeing what your meals are too. Thank you for joining FFO and have a very nice weekend.
