Nature’s circus


Last summer, Lynn and I decided to check out the walking trails at the Nature Center (located in Robert Moses State Park in Massena).   It was a beautiful day and we wanted to take full advantage of it. I, of course, was armed with my camera (unfortunately, not with enough bug spray).
While there we were treated to an unexpected performance. We were first greeted by the Ringmaster. A welcoming face introducing us to the acts to follow.


There were three acts that day. The first was a terrific aerial performance by a portion of a flower just shy of the size of a dime attached to a single piece of spider silk.  She gracefully swayed on her rope, twisting and turning as the wind shifted.

We moved on to what appeared to be a tight rope tumbling performance frozen in time. One above the rope, one under.

Last but certainly not least, the Diva of the Woods. Unfortunately we did not get to see her perform as she was engaged in a heated argument regarding her lighting. I don't see what her problem was, I thought the spotlight was dead on.

All in all a beautiful trip. We stayed as long as we could, but the mosquitoes were swirling about us like paparazzi on the Royal Couple.
