    Woodland Highland games

    Here are a few pictures from the Woodland games. These were taken with my phone, we forgot to put the memory card back into our camera.

    Your dear wife's nails got oohs and aahs from my wife and her daughter. You of course, look as smashing as ever and I guess got every visitor to your tent in the mood for fun.

    A happy birthday to you. I celebrated my 63rd last Friday!

    Happy birthday. You look well turned out, and the tartan nails are a great idea!

    I've seen some photos from the Clan Buchanan Society of the Woodland Highland Games, as well. It looks like a nice, large, well attended event! The Buchanan tent, in particular, appeared much larger than any clan tents we had at last year's Stone Mountain Highland Games.

    Good seeing you there on Saturday, Rich!

    I don't have still pics to contribute, but I did get a number by The Wicked Tinkers on video. For those who have never heard an electric didgeridoo played along with pipes and drums, this will be novel. I think the group's description of its musical style as "Celtic Tribal Fusion" is pretty spot-on. My iPhone doesn't do the sound justice, alas -- when you're actually there the ground literally trembles.

    A few dance photos

    It was great seeing Richard and Holly. Sadly not much of the Nor Cal Rabble was present on Saturday and I managed to miss seeing Alan and Dale.

    I spent pretty much all day in and around the dance stage but I can add a few other images to Richard's thread from the two Red Thistle Dancer shows (if he doesn't mind)

    Samantha dancing Maid of Fife



    Kevin and Dave doing the Broadsword dance



    Me and friends dancing "All the Right Circles"





    The "40 Something Reel"



    (written in honor of the Red Thistle Dancers 40+ years of dancing Scottish)

    It was a lovely day and I wish I could have stayed for Sunday just to hang out

    Cheers

    Dale... Thanks for posting this. I was interested in hearing the electric didgeridoo, but as you said your iPhone doesn't do it justice. The pipes dominate (not a bad thing I suppose) but I have never heard an electric didgeridoo.
    Cheers...Liam
