Rock in the park

If you know the name of this band, please tell me so I can add it?

The Co-op bike

Someone had found this discarded bike and lovingly restored it.

Rie

Rie had some Japanese food on offer for the visitors to the CoCoMAD fête.

She also runs the local Japanese restaurant, Genki.

After A Bar at the Folies-Bergére by Édouard Manet.

More on Manet.

Nicola

Belly dancers were part of the entertainment for the 2009 CoCoMAD fête.

J 4 D

I wonder if the tree has outlived J's love for D?

Beautifully sunny Sunday in the park and the kids were happy to show me some of the tricks they could turn on their bikes.

They looked at the shadowy images on the back of my camera and screamed "It's sick!"

It sounded positive so I guess that 'sick' is the new 'cool'.

Squirrel on a stick

This little fellow looked as though he knew I was there and yet still spent almost half an hour posing for me.

Basketball

Twisted

I like the gnarlyness of this tree and although I could have brought out some detail from the shadows I left them black as it added to it's dark twisted look.

Pushy dad

Bags of fun

Mud Slide Slim

Alone and blue

There were hundreds of people at the fête; yet this girl looked as tough the band were playing just for her.

If you know the name of the band, please let me know?
