The dancers jumped on stage at the Greek Festival this weekend. Photographers jumped up to take pictures. At least one of the dancers had the shade of yellow which is called jonquil on her costume.
When I was growing up, we always called daffodils jonquils. There were Greek festivals here last weekend, too. Guess they do it all over the country. Had never thought about it before, but it certainly makes sense. Love the picture...so festive. genie

The Greek festival is happening here too-I wonder why it's the same time of year for Greek Festivals?
