"..gardening sure has changed since my day"

Each year over 400,000 people visit the Floriade flower festival in Canberra which showcases over one million bulbs and annuals.....plus apparently a few fine feathers!!
Several 365ers met up to mingle with the masses, and we were most suprised to come across a 'street parade' of drummers and costumed dancers from Uruguay, and the suprise sounds, colours and movements (!!) had Lyndal & I turning into instant paparazzi, so this shot of the dancers 'entertaining' the crowd is my lasting memory of the day. :D
(oh... and the fact that Lyndal's team won their grand final)

What a weird pic, Lyn. Interesting though :)

She must have been freezing, it was so cold at Floriade yesterday. The guy on the left looks like he is enjoying the garden! Good photo.

I think that Lyn would agree with me that those girls didn't stop dancing the entire time & wouldn't have had a chance to get cold... also there were lots of men who seemed to enjoy looking at that 'garden' ;-D
