Straw bear festival

went to see the Straw Bear festival at Whittlesea today.  Lots of folk in strange costumes and even odder dancing including goth morris dancers.
Very entertaining to watch and fun to photograph even though it wasn't my kind of music!  The main photo shows the main straw bear dancing with some of the more conventional dressed dancers.  The extra shows a blurred dancer, in keeping with my theme of 'blur' for this year. I took many photos of blurred dancers but liked how his costume looks like flames when blurred.
