Tiny Tuesday Results and AOG News

I am very late arriving at the Alternative Olympic Games.  Coming from the U.S. I had to get special permission to enter and then quarantine for 14 days, all consequences of some of the Americans' irresponsibility and craziness.  In addition, I had all the Tiny Tuesday entries to review this week.  Whew! I am finally here. 

I am one of the pool photographers who was slowed down considerably once again when entering Garden Stadium by the temperature-taking and questioning at the entrance but finally entered in time to see world champion Bella Bee in her final heat of the Hyssop Scramble event. 

Bella is a Central Maryland beauty, who is always surrounded by controversy for wearing very fancy competition attire, such as this golden stole she is wearing as she races to the top of the Lavender Hyssop to claim the Gold Medal.  Well done, Bella 

Well done also to all those who entered the Tiny Tuesday challenge this week.  I have enjoyed viewing all the images and have had a very difficult time narrowing down my favorites but have finally done so.  Hearts go to the following:
