When your guest artist is late …
… you make do with whoever is available.
Just wondering
Does the RCBfA have any interest in ballet?

I’ve got eight gigabytes of Nutcracker pictures to survey and edit. That’s roughly equivalent to 48 rolls of film. I might post about classical music for beginners later today or tomorrow, but otherwise don’t expect much activity here for a while.
A few more dance pictures
Paphiopedilum
I spent the afternoon at an orchid show and took a few pictures. More than a few, actually.
Witch hazel

Confused crab
Up
I shot about 1,500 frames at the dance rehearsal last night. There’s no doubt about it: this year’s bunch of kids can really jump.

Robert posted “Kublai Khan” today. I just happen to have here a damsel with a dulcimer. She’s Wenzhuo Zhang, who took first place in the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship at Winfield Saturday. Although Zhang lists her address as Fredonia, NY, I believe she’s originally from Beijing, and she plays the Chinese dulcimer, the yangqin. Here’s a view of her instrument, showing the multiple bridges.
Here’s one of the pieces she played in the competition.

What happens when you combine Irish dancing with Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Cutlass dancing.
My friends and I stopped at the relocated Carp Camp on the way home from Winfield last night. Here’s a bit of the music we heard:
The sound isn’t wonderful (crank it up), but it might give you an idea of the energy flowing there.
There will be many more pictures of Winfield and Carp Camp when I have time to sort and edit everything in the camera.

Morning at Botanica
Purple and green
Spotted on the way to work this morning. (The color is not quite accurate; the flowers are less blue and more purple than they appear here.)
