hootin--anni has a new meme.
IT'S ALL ABOUT MY NEW MEME THAT I HOPE SOME WILL FEEL LIKE JOINING IN ON THE CHALLENGE AND THE FUN [at least I hope the weekly challenge will be fun!]. It's loosely based on song lyrics [recorded songs since the beginning of time to today] and associating them with photos of yours...as I've done in the past...If you click on the link above, it'll take you to the Meme's Homepage for rules and buttons. There will be a Mr. Linky Widget for each individual week also. Do consider joining me sometime. Hope to see it flourish in time.

The Banana Boat song is so lively and happy....wish we are forever in that boat and singing...and singing...our hearts out...Thanks for the interesting post.
my mom made banana "heart" salad the other day. it's a yummy appetizer.:p
One of my favourite songs and one of my all-time favourite performers. I was fortunate enough to see Harry Belafonte perform not once, but twice! It was years ago, but I'm still thrilled when I think of it.
Fantastic choice, Ann.

Fun post, Ann! Love the photos, especially the shot of the hot air balloons. Great capture. Thanks for sharing your world.
That's one of my favourite songs too.Bananas are too expensive to buy these days. We could do with some boats stacked high with bananas right now.
I love Harry Belafonte too and now I'm singing the song.
So incredible. Very beautiful. Thaks.
I can find wide variety of bananas here :)
I love that song, Harry Belafonte had the most beautiful voice. Great photos Ann, I really like the ones of the banana tree.
Superb job Ann!! I really like this song. Always have. It gets the ol' blood pumping with great rhythms. Your photos are stunning.
Happy Friday to you.
