I love the Cherokee kids, and the pictures of the farm and the flower power cars.<br /><br />I was born in 1983 and even my parents were too young to participate in the 1970s movement, although they were (and still are) very much left-wing and committed to ideals that are quite similar to that era's.<br /><br />I find it extremely comforting to see that some people are still living their dreams. "Hippies" are too often dismissed as dreamers (and stoned ones!) but the philosophy behind the movement is beautiful.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your memories with us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-19688540737657661252010-05-13T08:55:08.302-04:002010-05-13T08:55:08.302-04:00What struck me right away was how beautiful the pe...What struck me right away was how beautiful the people are.

Oui, la tradition est toujours d'actualité d'offrir du muguet au 1er Mai pour porter chance à ceux que l'on aime. Hélas, son prix augmente chaque année d'une manière alarmante.

And perhaps then they would have been respected for who they are at all times, not just in circumstances like the one you so carefully and thoughtfully chronicle. <br /><br />You have created some wonderful posts that do justice to what you have experienced. And you've made me want to experience that too!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-52278774094847464502010-04-30T05:36:30.375-04:002010-04-30T05:36:30.375-04:00Your photos are beautiful.

You almost have me wishing that I was coming to America rather than visiting France in September (and no my French is not improving, I just haven't had time to learn more than how to order two strawberry ice creams!). <br /><br />I heard about people pinching your photos. Put your name and a copyright on the bottom of them as a watermark, you'll always have the originals. <br /><br />And what are my horses doing in your photo? You know what I find particularly lovely, is that the youngsters are carrying on the tradition. Without them being involved these amazing dances and rituals will die. The pole flyers are awesome. I was fortunate enough to spend six weeks in Tahiti many years ago and the dancing is absolutely gorgeous but the singing . . oh my . .the ladies in Church could be heard from miles around with beautiful harmonies. I'll never forget it.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-70490751776641076142010-04-30T03:00:19.343-04:002010-04-30T03:00:19.343-04:00Sur la première photo, le danseur a de belles bott...Sur la première photo, le danseur a de belles bottes, Elle me bottent bien !<br />J'ai eu une paire de bottes de style indien, mais elle se cont tout avachies.
