To the Circus!


To my delight, as I was driving home from work I noticed this huge red and yellow striped tent. The circus was in town!!!


I've been wanting to go to the circus since forever because of the memories I have of my aunt taking my cousins and I when we were little. I remembered it was such an eye-opener for me! Although I was scared of clowns (I still am) there was a touch of surreal-ness with the bright colours, acrobatics, and animals that knew had to do tricks!


Very very pretty white horses, I captioned this as "Unicorns (Almost)" :D


Craziest stunt ever. Some guy holding this heavy apparatus. OH. Lets put someone up on the apparatus. Oh, and for the hell of it, why not make him ride a motorcycle IN IT! Needless to say, I was worried for their life.


You can't go to a circus and not see elephants! You know, just chilling out, sitting on a stool, having a good laugh ;)

Many years later, the circus was still amazing! Felt like a kid again :)

I think circuses are great ideas and Im all for it but I've been turned off them since I did a research paper on animal cruelty and more often than not circuses do not treat their animals with kindness, I hope this circus was different though!

I'm really loving these pictures. While on the freeway the other day, I saw a circus tent being set up too. I'm going to stop by next time. This looks like tons of fun :)

Hi Jenny! I just read your comment and had to respond asap! I hope I didn't offend YOU with my comment! I didn't mean anything serious about it, more like I was just thinking out loud >< Sorry!

I've always wanted to go see the circus! Cirque Du Soleil in particular. It's amazing what those people can do. Hm I hope those elephants are treated well. I wouldn't want them to be treated like they do at African Lion Safari- that place makes me mad when I think of how they treat their elephants sometimes >=(
