St George's Day

The City Daily Photo community are running a set of 'national days' to celebrate the various nations we all come from.  They're a bit like theme day, only they fall in the middle of the month.  Today is St George's Day - for England.  St George was famous for slaying the dragon, and recently we had an addition to our menagerie - fire belly toads.  They look like dragons to me!  I myself have some tenuous connexion with Old Blighty as my Mom is a British colonial (The Bahamas).  She taught me to spell properly :-)

Please visit the City Daily Photo blog's St George page to see how other photographers interpreted this theme.

Dancing!

On the way to the Greenmarket on Sunday, we saw these people dancing.  In the street.  In the rain.  Enjoying themselves!

It turns out they are from St George's church.  Their annual Greek Festival will be held downtown next week.  But they're starting early!  They danced and handed out flyers to shoppers at the Greenmarket.  Very good thinking!
