Festivities

Fat Tuesday passed and many people really enjoyed themselves during the day. I think that the images from The Boston Globe's The Big Picture show some very amazing aspects of the various celebrations. Enjoy some of my favorites here and go to The Big Picture for the full effect.

Let's all go to the circus!

I think the circus is ripe with artistic possibilities. The type, the costume, the drama, the food—it's all open for the taking. All the worn posters and bright colors, slightly faded over time. Something about circuses and carnivals feels me with a sense of nostalgia. Whether it is the peanuts, popcorn, cotton candy or corn dogs, the circus world just makes me feel happy inside. This year, I might try to see the "Greatest Show on Earth." Of course, that's Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.

If you have ever wondered where you would fit in at the big top, give this hunch a try (courtesy of yours truly).
