The Daikin Festival takes place annually at the Decatur, Al fairground. This is my second time to visit there, and I went armed with the D300, 17-50/2.8 and D700, 70-200/2.8.

Aside from general shots of the crowd, pictures are roughly from three main groups: the dance bands/audience/dancers; the festival dancers/bandstand/drummers and dance leaders on the stage; and the balloons.

I shot from about 6:30 until 9:00 p.m., managing to put away two barbecue sandwiches and some Pepsis as well.

The lilies were in full bloom. Colorful hydrangeas lurk in the shadows. A few irises are hanging on in shady glens.
All's right in the world.
