Thursday was the start of our Buskers Festival here in Kingston. Now for those of you who aren't too sure what a "busker" is -- they are street performers who perform for gratuities.
I have gone to every Busker Festival since I arrived here. Some years have been better than others -- but I find it fascinating -- no matter how awful some of the performers are - to watch the acts and the audience. It's a great chance to practice one of my favourite hobbies - people watching.
Yesterday I headed downtown and was totally and completely impressed. It was a hot day -- but there was no sun -- and being by the lake this year there was a nice breeze. I, of course, took umpteen pictures -- here's just a few of my favourites...
There were street artists............
and kiddies learning where milk really comes from .........
there were musicians from Australia..........
and jugglers
and just fun performers.......
I even treated myself to a henna tattoo ..........
On Sunday I may be going back -- with some 'friends' for the last day........ got my fingers crossed that the weather cools off and the sun shines.
