My second day of birthday celebration (see below) started as the sun began to make its descent. Every Sunday on Siesta Beach, crowds begin to gather and form a large, open circle. People bring chairs, drums, maracas and beverages. Soon there is standing room only around the periphery of the circle.
As the drummers start beating their rhythms, children are first to enter the circle.
A regular dancer begins a ritual that invites others into the circle for the dance.
This was a great opportunity to test my new lens from across the drum circle.
The big drums beat a rhythm that is enhanced by smaller drums and maracas.
Children, and the young at heart, are eager to join the dance.
