Tango at Carnaval

During the last round of Carnaval, there was no act the first hour.  Why delay it instead of having it end closer to a decent hour?  This is Uruguay - no one would come that early.  Anyway, during the first hour, they had a small tango when we were there.  Unfortunately, either because they weren't used to the shape of the stage in front of the curtains or because they just weren't good, it wasn't a good show.  We did get a couple of nice pictures, though.  There is a tango section of Carnaval competition, but it's not held at Teatro de Verano and not well publicized.

Starting the Center

I finally started the center square of See the Stars this week.  It was released in January, so as usual, I'm behind.  On the other hand, this square is going fairly quickly.

Name That Bird

We saw this bird at the sea wall a while back and have been unable to identify it.  Anyone know?  I've got a couple more pictures of it.

Two Petals

It's coming along; I now have two petals done.  Still behind, but I'll eventually get it done.  After all, if I weren't behind, would I be in a stitchalong?

Pretty Pink Flowers

A couple of weeks ago, trees began blooming with these beautiful pink flowers that somewhat resemble passionflowers.  I've never seen their like before.  Does anyone know what they are?  The trees are covered in them now and they're gorgeous.  I'll try to get a picture of one of the trees in full bloom this weekend.

Lady and the Skirt

Still working on the skirt!
