PhotoHunt - Cold heart, warm feelings

The City of Frederick celebrates the first Saturday of the month with businesses open late and events along the streets. For February ice sculptures and valentines were the theme. Happy valentines day to all you photohunters.

Window Views - Frederick First Saturday

Primary elections will be held in Maryland on September 14. Political signs have appeared in many places, including windows in downtown Frederick. (This is not an endorsement, but I will consider both of these candidates when I vote.)

My World - A touch of England

Grandson Chris and I went downtown on August 7 for the Frederick First Saturday celebration. The official theme was "dog days of August" and "well behaved and leashed" canines were welcome at most places. The VW clubs displayed their older vehicles (posted on Lew's pics) and there were several music groups performing.

However, there was also a touch of England represented. The American Traveling Morrice, a group of Morris Dancers, get together one week each summer to take Morris dancing to another part of the USA. During the year they perform in their respective communities (some of the touring group are from outside the USA). This year they made a swing through the Baltimore/Washington area, with their last stop in Frederick. Chris and I caught the end of one of their performances and I could not get shots of their footwork from the back of the crowd.

The dancers were performing again later down by Carroll Creek. And a few shops away from the dance is a permanent touch of merry old England.
