Quincy August Moon Festival

Annual Quincy August Moon Festival 2013 (Greater Boston)

We went to the Moon Festival. This was the biggest one I've ever seen yet!

I missed it last year because I was living in Philadelphia. But, I've been attending these for several years since my daughter was a baby.

What's great about this particular Festival is that it's organized by the local ethnic minorities, specifically the Asian groups, but is open to including anyone, and anything, and is paid for by money raised in the communities such as those from donors, and sponsors. There is no end to the amount of volunteers of all ages, most notably the youth whom proudly contribute of their own free will, and greater sense of community. I've also attended many times and found that some volunteers even came from different towns, including non-Quincy high schools. This makes much of the activities FREE for children!

Many local businesses get into the spirit!

Here I am in the car. I obtained from wearing makeup... the weather forecast was constantly wrong all day, even tho' the forecast was clear and cool for that day all week, when we woke up it was overcast.

Then, it was mixed weather the entire day. It got SO hot and sunny, and humid mid way through the event.

Luckily, I brought water & sunblock because I'm broke, and it was HOT.

But, about a quarter after 2, we left, and it was so crowded, but I was so starving (and broke), my daughter bought her own hotdog, but I ate nothing the whole day, and ran out of water.

After we came home, the temperature dropped and it rained by around 6pm (which was after the event was over).

Here I am in the morning at the festival. Hard to believe that by the time we left, this very spot was swarming with people... but I'm the only Person there in this shot.

This is the dress I made from silk I bought in Beijing in 2008. All the jewelry is also special silver of jade from China as well (except for the earrings).

My daughter is much braver now, and used to be scared of riding ponies, even tho' she loves them so much. But, this is a more recent thing for her to brave enough in just the past 2-3 years. 
Don't laugh... I know she didn't put her feet in the stirrups, but she doesn't actually KNOW how to ride, let alone what a stirrup is, nor a bridal, reins, or a saddle, let alone the varieties of them...

Regardless, this was the happiest I have EVER seen her at a fair! She was often grumpy about any number of things, like the price of the hotdogs or drinks, or the lack of moneys... but, when we all put together that last dollar so she could get a pony ride, you couldn't have seen a happier child EVER!

Her face lit-up as soon as she got on, and beamed with joy!

Dark clouds above your head
All I see is blue sky
Love's shining light on me
Let me see through your eyes
I never needed someone else
It's too revealing
It'll only try to pull yourself
in believing

Don't you wanna know
How I feel
Don't you wanna know
How I feel

Love lets you down again
But I made my own choice
Can't seem to find your way
When you speak with my voice
Everything's wrong that could be right
I was so excited
Don't be afraid, of all your light
Just fight it

I found this incredibly great LIVE performance version video of this track "Andro" by "Faun" (Germany) as the band mentions in the beginning, it's a rather magical feeling sound, rather whimsical, and yet Earthy!

Classic track "Forever" by "Dee Dee" which was a popular rave track from 2002 (Europe). Back then everyone would refer to this dance style as just "Eurodance" and in the USA we could just call it "techno", but today no one can seem to agree on what to call it. I've heard this called "trance" but I wouldn't consider this as trance myself. I've also heard this style called "hard trance", Euro trance", Eurodance trance".

Empty Seat in The Gazebo

It's quite a lovely spot to place this gazebo! Surrounded by the pond.

Nice breeze, the air is clean, and doesn't stink like a stagnant pond.

Ducks everywhere! 

Wanna see some?

Here's DUCK some photos I shot.

No, you can't sit with me...

No perverts allowed!
