I dance no longer
I was asked, do you still dance. The answer is no. I used to, a lot. I was so free and independent. But that ended and I no longer dance.
Yes, it's not my show, but I was fascinated by the way this guy "dances" while doing bullfighting.
Months ago I happened to meet José MarÃa in real life and I found him one of the most charming persons I know.

In 1714 Barcelona fell to the army of Philip V after a long siege. The dogged resistance of the city meant that its new rulers wanted to keep it under firm control.
A year later, Philip V ordered a giant new garrison fort, the largest in Europe, to be built in order to guard the city. The buildings of the Ribera district were demolished and in their place, in 1716, the new fortifications began to be erected, paid for by the city itself.
In 1841, the Junta de Vigilà ncia (Board of the Guard) began to dismantle it, but under the Regency it was restored in 1843.
After the anti-Bourbon revolution of September 1868, the Catalan general Joan Prim decideded to turn over the garrison fort, the Ciutadella, to the city, which from 1869 to 1888 had it pulled down, this time definitively. All that was preserved was the Governor's palace, the chapel and the arsenal.
In 1888 Barcelona held a Universal Exhibition, inspired by Mayor Rius i Taulet, and the park was built on the grounds of the demolished Ciutadella. This event marks the end of the old provincial Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.

En al año 1714, Barcelona fue sometida a un largo asedio por el ejército de Felipe V. La larga resistencia que opuso la ciudad dio lugar a que este rey quisiera asegurar su dominio.
Un año después, Felipe V ordenó la construcción de la ciudadela más grande de Europa, con el objetivo de poder vigilar la ciudad, y para construirla hizo derribar el barrio de la Ribera. El año 1716 se comenzó a construir las edificaciones, que fueron pagadas por la ciudad.
En 1841, la Junta de Vigilancia inició su derribo, pero la Regencia la restauró el año 1843.
Durante la revolución de septiembre el general catalán Joan Prim decretó la donación de la Ciudadela a la ciudad, que entre los años 1869 y 1888 la hizo derribar definitivamente. Se han conservado el palacio del Gobernador, la capilla y el arsenal.
En 1888, con motivo de la Exposición Universal, promovida per el alcalde Rius i Taulet, se construyó el parque en los terrenos de la demolida Ciudadela. Este hecho cambió la orientación de la vida de la ciudad: Barcelona se transforma en una ciudad cosmopolita.

I've been busy organizing my growing collection of images and came across this one. I liked it but never posted it because I just couldn't seem to get the tones I wanted. Well, I gave it another try with Lightroom 2.0 and had a bit better luck. I took this with my Canon XTi last year after a snowstorm brought 10 inches of snow and a cancellation of school and work which in turn made for a great day for the dogs. A group shot is here.

Dusky dancer damselfly on a buttonball tree bud. Not sure what the pink fuzzy growth on the leaves is, I think it must be a moss of some type. Interesting color and texture.

What is it about this day that you love? What is it about this moment that you treasure?
There is something within your life that compels you to know and experience even more of life. What is it, at the heart of things, that drives you so?
What makes it so wonderful to float peacefully on a calm waters under the warm sun? Why does the beauty of a distant mountain peak touch your heart so profoundly?
There is a reason why you have opinions about a wide range of matters large, small and in between. There is a guiding purpose at the heart of each sincere choice you make.
As you dance with life each day, your steps follow a rhythm that stays true to the genuine person inside, no matter what else may or may not happen. Though you interact intimately with all that is around you, something within you is apart from it all, relishing the experience.
Breathe deeply the sweet, fresh air of being. And keep dancing, as each unfolding moment brings a brand new verse of the song you've always known.

This is the track that they were dancing to.
Dancers from 'Be Captivated' by Ballet Central at the New Town Theatre, during last year's Edinburgh Fringe.
This show was a very enjoyable show, both to watch...and to photograph.
