Geraniums dancing for Friday. If you look closely and listen to the flower music you may see some faces in the inner circle.
Not everyone will - just those who believe flowers can not only sing - they can dance as well :)

We danced to the band with the curious tone,
of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone,
fiddle, 'cello, big bass drum, bassoon, flute
and euphonium, each one making the most of his chance,
altogether in the Floral Dance.

Dancing here, prancing there
jigging, jogging everywhere.
Up and down, and round the town.
Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance.

"The Floral or Furry Dance of Helston, Cornwall, originated as a pre-Christian Spring Festival. Later, the Christians of the district, being the cunning devils that Christians inevitably are and seeing it as a jolly useful community event, adopted it as a pro-Christian festival to celebrate their patron, Saint Michael, annually on the 8th May."

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The image is nice and also the music of the brass band is not the usual oompapa but nice melodious sounds.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Lyn, it's the first time of my life that I see geraniums are performing a ballet act while singing along, ☺ .
Wonderful floral creation!
