Well, the deadline for the Simple Still Life project arrived and there are some amazing images out there. Since the photos are on each creator’s website, some are easier to find than others. However, I had a good time looking for a while this morning while sipping my first cup of tea. There are far too many for me to see them all in one sitting, but I’ll be returning soon enough for more.

I got an email this morning from the author of Olenka’s Song who was one of the participants. I love her blog! It includes poetry, photography, mosaic, digital imagery, fiber art… even singing! A true multi-art experience. I love that! Go take a peek if you have a few minutes.

Today the photos I share with you come from this Saturday’s Caribbean Festival at Lansing Community College. There were three stilt dancers, a good group of drummers, and some dancers accompanying the stiltmen. I got some lovely shots of four female dancers and will share those with you on a future blog entry.

These photos are: 1)Parade of stilt performers arriving, accompanied by drummers. 2)Stiltmen preparing for dance circle. 3)Dancer in the air, notice he has jumped and his stilt has not yet hit the ground. 4)Three Stiltmen in a circle (they had just finished a balance with one foot each straight out in back of them).

Aren’t these costumes amazing? I just wish you could hear the drummers! It was wonderful. They danced three times during the day and I saw them twice. I loved being there.
