    Normally I’m not at a loss for words but I’m still in awe after enjoying an afternoon of dazzling color, feathered costumes, aerobatic dancing, loud music, intense drum beats (and lots of them), tons of energy-sapping routines and loads of fun. In other words, just another spectacular Solstice Saturday. The images tell the story.

    Hands down, the best single "loss-for-words" paragraph I wish I hadn't spent 10-seconds reading. Oh, yeah---the pictures tell the story. Duh on me.
