My favorite place was in the old section, sweet little brick house with lovely courtyard in back. Cool neighborhood. I can't believe I recognized Rittenhouse sq, this was in high school that she was there!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831869308612401523.post-42825635692553577572011-04-06T21:55:28.075-07:002011-04-06T21:55:28.075-07:00~ Lynn: I have some really beautiful old family ph...~ Lynn: I have some really beautiful old family photos. In "bygone eras" photography definitely had a different and somehow deeper feel. (or maybe it is just me romanticizing it?)<br /><br />~ Aria: I've had that Hunter essay on my inspiration board for years. Different things stand out for me at different times, but somehow it always seems relevant...Donna~Q~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15516927570570110567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831869308612401523.post-39251971906342185962011-04-06T12:58:27.710-07:002011-04-06T12:58:27.710-07:00Another excellent and timely post.

Since I am at another crossroads point in my life and art, I've been pondering again the whys of expressing one's self through art, music, and dance as well as the connection to that sideways step. I hadn't yet read the Hunter article which is also helpful.Aria Nadiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594587048267219542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831869308612401523.post-26652013495476768042011-04-05T02:45:17.402-07:002011-04-05T02:45:17.402-07:00That was fantastic, Donna!

Whichever, watching the women dancing in a group like that was mesmerizing. <br /><br />I'm with Roisin: beautiful photo of your mother. It conjures up a bygone era. <br /><br />And, thanks for the link to Oliver Hunter's essay. His artwork is wonderful.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674923395134039554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831869308612401523.post-28153269063697173122011-04-05T00:27:11.209-07:002011-04-05T00:27:11.209-07:00@ Daniel ~ Thanks for stopping by!
@ Valerianna ~...@ Daniel ~ Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@ Valerianna ~ Good eye ~ it is Rittenhouse Square. Have you been there before?<br /><br />@ Roisin ~ Bellydancing was on my check-it-out list for a while before I actually got to it. I'm fortunate that the studio closest to my home teaches tribal, I'm not sure I'd be quite as smitten with some of the other forms of belly dance. Not only is it fun, but it's also a great workout for the abs :~) Thank you for the compliment on my mom's photo!Donna~Q~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15516927570570110567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831869308612401523.post-52558792755640990822011-04-04T13:15:37.572-07:002011-04-04T13:15:37.572-07:00Always wanted to give bellydancing a go - it looks...Always wanted to give bellydancing a go - it looks like so much fun!
