Los Niños Bailando en El Calle



Yesterday afternoon, this group of young dancers performed baile folklorico at the Downtown Hollister Farmers Market.  It was certainly fun and enjoyable to watch the children dancing in the street (los niños bailando en el calle).

Baile folkorico is a type of Latin American dance that integrates ballet dance techniques with regional folk culture.  Here's the Wikipedia link that explains baile folklorico better. Sorry I missed the name of the local dance troupe.

Today is Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. I invite you to come along with me and visit other bloggers who have posted stories and photos around the letter N.

The Hollister Airshow


I forgot to do a follow-up post of the Hollister Airshow that took place a couple months ago. It must've been all that fun in the sun.  What I recall most vividly was the parade of the War Birds. While the local Boy Scout troops stood at attention holding American flags on the tarmac, a B-25 and four fighter planes circled the air several times. As they passed, I couldn't help but think about the type of missions that military pilots completed in these aircraft.

I did write an article about the air show for BenitoLink.com, which you can read here, and posted an album at Take 25 to Hollister Facebook page, which you can view here. To learn more about the Hollister Airshow, check out its website and Facebook page.

Today, I'm hooking up with Our World Tuesday.

Farmers' Market Flowers


I always love the display of bright colors in the flower vendor booths at farmers' markets. How about you?

The Downtown Hollister Farmers' Market is every Wednesday, from 3 to 7:30 PM, until September 24, 2014. It's located on San Benito Street, between Fourth and Seventh Streets. I like how the city closes the main street for the market.  For more info, check out the market's webpage or Facebook page.

Today, Take 25 to Hollister is hooking up at Monday Mellow Yellows.

A Reflection Bonus in a Window


I've been having fun meeting new bloggers and seeing various parts of the world through a different linky party every day of this past week. Dear readers, I hope you've taken the opportunity to check out some of the links as well. Today, I'm hooking up at Weekend Reflections, which is a site where folks share their photos of reflections caught on surfaces such as windows.

When I took this photo, my focus was on the sign, so as to get information about the upcoming The Best of San Benito County Food & Wine on October 26, 2014, which is a fundraiser for the Emmaus House. Upon finally viewing my photo, I was delighted to see that I caught a reflection of sky and The Vault behind me. Also in the reflection is the Husband's head!
