They laughed when we said it might happen. People mocked and pointed. Where are those unbelievers now????

The line between fantasy and reality is becoming blurred. Who knows what is possible now?

Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you..................drum roll................PART 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Shame I'm at work so have nothing to post but then I have no idea what a Part 6 picture looks like).

In the small Oxfordshire town where I live, the Morris Men, as they are called, date from before 1560,when the Town Council bought them some bells to wear on their legs. The horn is a part of the dance and was made in 1700, to commemorate a local brawl in that year.

They were in the meadow at the end of my street for a Wassail Festival when hot, spicy cider is drunk, hoping for a good apple harvest, a very ancient, probably pagan ritual.

And with a very loud shot ...



 There was no wind at all, but the sound was very loud anyway.

Interesting light here. It looks like the sun behind the bull head, but there's light on front of the man.

I like the composition.

Certainly is creepy. I wonder what that plastic wrapping is about.

Maybe it's better not to know.

Were you playing golf or just passing next to a golf course?

You are definitely right about being Creepy, but it was well taken.
 
Dear all,

Well, I don't have anything that great to post, but I could not resist being part of Part 6.

All comments welcome.

Best regards,

Jeff




California sunset over lagoon.




I think it's a great blue heron (from the markings), but the shape seems a little funny.




Butterflies at a migratory stop in a grove of eucalyptus trees. Need that extra 1.4X teleconverter!

These are all fine images, especially the last.

I've never seen a mass of butterflies in person. It must be cool.

The messy stomping of the snow ruined this to my sense, but perhaps others don't mind it so much.

Thank you tt321 and Michael.

Morris dancing is an ancient English tradition, and I like tradition; but I agree, it is an acquired taste.

It is edited with a sort of very heavy vignette, his top is actually bright white!
