Greatest Show on Earth!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is in town! 
I had been once...
To a circus.
(twice now)

I do not remember much of it, but I seem to remember it to be a magical place.
The amazing colors.
The incredible sounds.
Bright lights jolting all around the arena.
Men on stilts.
Acrobats.
Elephants.
Tigers.
Jugglers.
Clowns.
Riderless Horses.
*Bamboozlers and Bambozzlers.*
(There are many things at a circus that remind me of Dr.Seuss.)


I think it would be fabulous to see the circus train pull into town, as I always imagined it. 
With open lion cages, giraffes heads sticking out the top of their crates.
Steam puff, puff, puffing out of the locomotive.
Cart after cart of magical things.
I missed the train this time, but I did get a sneak peak with the animals before the show.

What a wonderful performer.. 40 years of it that is.




How does one train a cat?.. Now how does one train a TIGER?!



That is a fabulous hair cut you have.

The circus was just as amazing as I remembered it to be. 
Colorful. 
Cheerful.
Brilliant.
Extravagant.




Talk about some serious strength!


Elephantezzz!!! :D

Sit!!! STAY! :D

Yes. Elephants doing head stands... Amazing.



They are my FAVORITE! :D

It made me wonder what the world would be like if it were always-
This colorful.
This full of cheer.
This creative.
This extraordinary.
If everyone put in this much effort.
