Frog

 

I am back to the front porch that I showed you a few weeks ago with the great stork cut-out of steel. There were a few more creatures featured in the cut-outs and this is one of them, a tree frog. The dark areas are where there is a shaded background giving a nice effect.

Red

 

During the intermission at Cirque Du Soleil this giant screen came down and hid the stage area a bit but those dark areas were not opaque so you could see movement behind as they set up for the next acts. The screen resembled the Mexican paper cutouts called papel picado that are found for decoration at festive times of the year.

Drink Anyone?

 

The bar area inside the first tent at the Cirque Du Soleil really had a Mexican motif going. I loved the neon cactus. I took no pics during the performance as I was too busy watching everything.

Going To The Circus

 Luzia is the title of the Cirque Du Soleil show which I recently went to see. It is a dreamy tribute to Mexican culture using acrobats and special effects. This is the area just before you enter the tents which consists of the big tent itself and smaller tents for refreshments and souvenirs.

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians. 

Cirque

 

Cirque Du Soleil is in town for the next couple of months and I went to a recent performance. This is the view walking from the entrance towards the big top. It it was a wonderful show on a beautiful day.

The Cafe

 

It is hard to see at first but this seems to be a small cafe where even a blue raccoon has come for a bite. All the characters look rather unusual.

Starting Young

 

These young kids were doing a little exercise session in a local park before playing a few games with balls and goal nets. It was fun to watch them following along with the instructor.  A good thing to see.
