MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

(Mellow Wanderer) Find yourself a shady backyard or a beach and have a lazy good time. Nothing like mid-summer to celebrate National Hammock Day. July 22 is a sure bet good weather dominates most places in the world. Just don’t fall asleep in one as a thunderstorm approaches!Theodor_Galle_after_Johannes_Stradanus

According to Wikipedia, Native Americans used hammocks and Christopher Columbus took a bunch back to Europe after discovering them in the New World. The first hammocks were woven out of bark from the hamack tree. E._H._TAYLOR_(Ship)_(c112-01-24)

Today, hammocks come in every shape, size, style and price. You don’t even need a couple of trees to tie one down. Mellow Wanderer discovered a video counting down the top ten hammocks in the world.

So kick-back, hang-out and enjoy National Hammock Day!
