April 2025 Theme Day: Entertainment

Every first of the month, City Daily Photo bloggers participate in Theme Day, and this time the theme is entertainment. Sewing may not seem like a good time to you, but honestly it's probably my favorite hobby at the moment. This is my beloved sewing machine. It's well over 20 years old, but I refuse to replace it even though Pat periodically threatens to buy me a fancy new one.

This year I have decided to really lean into the things that bring me joy, and I've identified them specifically: gardening, reading and sewing. The reason for this is the current administration and the daily chaos that it brings. I need to actively envelop myself in happiness! I don't know about you, but personally speaking the last time this creep was president it was just perpetual, 24 hour stress for four straight years, alarm bells constantly clanging in my head. Doing the things that I love, and spending time with the people that I love -- that's what's keeping me sane right now. The photo below shows my current work in progress: a vintage looking Hawaiian shirt for my beloved Pat. I can't wait to see it on him.

The Denver March Powwow's 50th Year (Part 4)

These shots were taken during the various dance competitions. I'll finish up my powwow series tomorrow unless I decide to participate in Theme Day instead. We shall see!

More fun at the powwow! These were all taken during the drumming competition.

Sunday Style!

Another cool Californian! I approve of those wide legged, cuffed jeans. This is the last style shot from February's trip, but I'm heading back there next month so many I'll get lucky and find a few interestingly dressed individuals then.

More great stuff from the powwow! After all the dancers and dignitaries and introduced and the stadium floor is full, the many drum groups get a chance to compete, one after the other. This takes about an hour, and all the while the dancers and anyone else who wants to participate add to the energy. I got some good shots of all the fun.

The Denver March Powwow's 50th Year (Part 1)

Pat and I hit up the annual Denver powwow last Saturday, and as usual it was amazing! Even more so this year, since it's the 50th anniversary of the event. What you see above is most or all the dancers who came from everywhere to compete, along with several dignitaries and flag bearers. At the beginning of the night the dancers are introduced one group at a time until the floor is completely covered. This year there were apparently over 1,100 of them! More tomorrow.
