Dance No Limit (Family Friendly)
View allAll Photos Tagged Fandango,
I often take my camera with me into public washrooms - you never know what you might see. Here, I only had my long lens with me, but I liked the repetition of the faucets and soap dispensers, and I was able to stand back far enough to capture them. Luckily, I was in there alone :)
Technical details are in the tags.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
spotted these beauties in the Bloedel Conservatory yesterday. We went in to warm up and enjoy the tropical greenery and many colourful birds, it was quite wonderful.

"A WHITER SHADE OF PALE"
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWULu5_nXI
"We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed"
I saw the loveliest sight on yesterday's walk in my neighbourhood. The giant golden ginkgo has shed most of its leaves and the owner has left them,sweeping the ones on his driveway towards the tree, so that the trunk is surrounded by a thick carpet of pale gold, and because the leaves are quite smooth and evenly coloured, the image is quite disconcerting ... are they real? ... but they are so perfect, unblemished ... maybe they're made of paper? ... perhaps an outdoor art installation? ... but then you wade into them, carefully, so as not to stir up the scene too much, reach down and pick one up, and discover that they are real, their texture is plasticky, and you wish you could fill your pockets with them and bring them home to display in a glass bowl so that you could be reminded of the joys of summer all through the long cold winter days until spring makes her next appearance.
I had my phone with me, no "real" camera, but I clicked away, and the photos really don't do it justice but I had to play with them and ended up solarizing one of the photos, but I've included the view from the street also.
a brief return of a rainbow tail before the sun set, quite a magical moment that we got to witness while sitting in our car, listening to rain pounding down and streaming across our windshield ...
then it stopped, quite suddenly, there was an arcing rainbow that was not long-lasting, some brief grumbles of thunder, some very small flashes of lightening, and I thought it's all over, we were just about to leave, then this apparition appeared across the pond. I stepped out of the car and took two shots.
