Earth Day! Pictures and Videos from the Bayview Corner Celebration

The girls and I arrived at Bayview Corner's Earth Day celebration at about 3 pm last Sunday April 19th. It was not as crowded as I imagine it was earlier in the day. There were plenty of activities, music and interesting Island characters to watch anyway. Below is a review of the event, from my perspective, in pictures: Scroll all the way down for videos of Earth Day celebration

Above: Island musician Timothy Hull performs. I had never heard him perform, and it was great! The lyrics were thoughtful and poetic and the singing and instrumentals were equally enjoyable.

We hung out by the mandala and listened to music, the kids loved running around the mandala, in some sort of energy-building rhythm. It was pretty cool

I can always count on Marina to find and appreciate the flowers!!

Chenjera Youth Marimba from the Whidbey Island Rubatano Center: Setting up for more music. By the time we arrived at the Earth Day celebration, it was 3 PM or so and so it was no longer crowded, but there was no shortage of things to do and music to listen to.

People gather to enjoy the music

Gotta have stilts!
