Today there was a MIFA(Meguro International Friendship Association) festival near my place. People from all over the world gather & enjoy various cultural events. There were ethnic clothes try-ons, performance of a drumming circle, dances etc..

What the hell am I doing up here?
Via Flickr:
When we adopted our six-year old German shepherd about three months ago, we had no idea what, if any, training she had, so we were pleasantly surprised when she took to the obstacle course in the Mill Valley, CA dog park quite naturally and fearlessly. Here, it appears she is stopped at the top and hesitating about going down the ramp, but she's really in full motion and actually having fun. She jumped through a hoop, scrambled through a long tube, sidled on her belly under a low bench and happily jumped over hurdles. Of course, she did know there were some tasty pieces of cheese awaiting her at the end of each obstacle...

Kung Fu Polar Bear
Via Flickr:
Everybody was kung foo fighting...
Took this at the central park zoo, it was a tough shot to get since I was using my sigma dp2 with terribly slow auto focus, but I managed to do it manually. This polar bear was very entertaining, he was diving and giving us a great show, he looked very graceful underwater for such a huge beast.
Thanks for looking

Mayberry / 110.366
Photographers Notes:
I pulled up into this parking spot to go pick up the pizza and saw that reflection and immediately dug for my little Flip in my purse. Of course, simultaneously, the kid that owns the car came flying out the door of the building and jumped into the car and started it up. I said, "oh no, no no no!" He's already in the car in this photo. I had all of 10 seconds from cutting the engine to the end of him driving away. Thank jeebus for the point and shoot.
