One of the pairs of the ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" at the "Color in Motion" exhibit
My "Wizard of Oz" socks... at least the start...... black and white stripes continue down the top of the foot, while the heel, sole and toe (and a "strap" across the instep) are done in red to simulate the Ruby Slippers!

Tonight I put on my little red shoes and went out with friends for the night. We had dinner then took in a drag show, had a bit of a dance and of course took hundreds of photos (how sad are we). Best night out in ages.
The drone show that they have before the fireworks in recent years. This was the 40th anniversary of Silver Bells so the tree and some of the drone formations referenced the "ruby" anniversary.
