I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great shot - what does the word snag mean tho? Snack?
That's fantastic - what a great find! I used to participate in Mellow Yellow Monday, but I had a very hard time finding anything yellow :) This is totally perfect!
Thanks for saying what a snag is! I bet it's a popular stand.
Very nice entry for MY!

Have a fabulous week****
So why can't I ever find a snag stand when I need one!!! Should be WAAAAAAY more of them - although it'd be a tough call between the snags and a good bakery ...
Looks cute and fun! I love the pic.
I'd be one of the first customers of the day to be sure...I love snacking. And to have a sausage snack...well, I'm there!!! Love the yellow stools, very eye catching.
My Monday Post if you'd like to stop by to visit...is:
THEY CALL ME MELLOW YELLOW
Very attractive kiosk. Have a fabulous week.
