JUGGLING ART PERFORMANCE BY LES OBJETS VOLANTS FRANCE

As a part of the Francophonie celebrations,  Fête de la Francophonie, Juggling Art, a beautiful juggling  performance was presented by Les Objects Volants team from France called "Liaison Carbone', meaning carbon link. The juggling art was held at the National Museum theatre yesterday. The show was for quite unique for me as it was not the usual juggling that we get to see. The juggling techniques and styles by the team had very creative and captivating movements, style, humor and a bit of theatre. 

Here are some photos, they didn't come out very clear. 

DELIGHTFUL ARGANA FLOWER BAZAAR

I love flowers and it was a beautiful zen experience at the Argana flower bazaar last Saturday. Argana flower bazaar was held near Movenpick, at the restaurant strip near Rimal Hotel and Resort in Bida on 15 March. Beautiful flowers adorned every table that was there. The funny part is it was very cloudy and the skies were so grey. My husband told me, looks like it's going to rain. Anyways, I didn't want to miss the Argana flower bazaar, so, off we went. We parked close to Rimal hotel and walked up to the the bazaar. Otherwise, there's no way one would get parking in that restaurant strip. 

We started looking around, and within five minutes, it started to drizzle and rain, but not heavily, thankfully! My husband rushed to the car, because he had his professional Nikon camera and under no circumstances should it get wet in the rain. Sadly he missed all the possible beautiful shots he could have taken. I had my point and shoot that I carry religiously everywhere I go. I told him give me ten minutes, and I'll come to the car. It was drizzling, it was so windy all of a sudden. I knew one thing. I wanted to see all those beautiful wonderful looking flowers that were so intricately arranged. It was sad to see the vases and flower falling off the table and even the ones placed on the floor because of the sudden strong winds. The vendors started to keep some of the flowers away. I managed to look at most of the tables and take some photos. When I saw more and more water falling on my lens, I had to keeping wiping it to take some photos before I rushed to join my husband waiting for me in the car.  It wasn't just me that was looking at the flowers in the rain, several visitors got caught in the rain too and they didn't show any signs of leaving just because of the rain. 

And then, we headed to do some shopping at the new Lulu that opened in Dajeej.  While returning, the skies cleared, the sun was out, that really surprised me. Imagine it rained exactly at the time we happened to be at the flower bazaar, though I did enjoy getting caught in the rain since wasn't heavy. The only thing was I wished the weather would have permitted us to spend as much time as we would have wanted at the flower bazaar. I wish the Argana Hotels & Resorts would hold another flower show and I could leisurely enjoy the flowers and even buy some flowers I liked. Luckily my little point and shoot Nikon camera is still working.!

Here are some photos I took.

BEAUTIFUL ART WORK AT ALWAN LIVE ART FESTIVAL BY VISUAL THERAPY & MARINA MALL

Last Friday afternoon, on 14 March, we got to see live art by creative artists at Marina Crescent. The live art festival 'Alwan' was organized by Visual Therapy and Marina Mall which included music and shopping. Music and art definitely has a very pleasing and therapeutical effect.  A kid's art area was set up that had children draw freely with crayons and color pencils. It was a two day event that was held on 14th and 15th March.  I suppose the live music show would have been in the evening. There were stalls at Marina Mall ground floor restaurants area, selling a variety of interesting stuff. We were there from 1 pm and had to leave at 4.3O pm, right after the performance parkour, so missed the live music show. On and off there was DJ playing music during the time we were there. On the whole, we enjoyed. It was well organized. I hope we get to see more of such events.
