This gentleman was dancing with a sword. I don't know why. Maybe it was taken from a "Blue Coat" by one of his ancestors. He seemed to be the only person sporting one and he was very proud of it.

The scabbard is painted with Seminole yellow/red/black/white stripes -- doesn't seem like it's been liberated from some cavalry trooper.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are drawn to the kid's moccasins in the background.

ReplyDeleteThey all have reason to be proud. What a great show!
ReplyDeleteHe is reminding me of a pirate with that sword!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's sheathed. Otherwise I would feel very worried that he might fall!
ReplyDeleteJust thought: What if one of the guys in these posts you are.
ReplyDeleteHe's covered in so much regalia it's hard to know where the sword begins and where the clothing ends...or something like that.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Ocala: Oh, shoot, I can't remember what you said!
If you've got it, flaunt it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a week's collection of some AMAZING Indian beaded costumes!
ReplyDeleteVery artistic costume though. He seems in a trance.
