PHOTO HUNTERS HOME
I wasn't sure what I would post for this this week's theme since I am not musically inclined although I had years of piano lessons as a child and am a current member of my church bell choir.
I found an old photo of a small banner I designed for our bell choir. . . that reminds me that I should try to get another photo since this one is all catawampus!
Our town has a park called Esther Short Park and a part of it is called Propestra Square after the donor of the bell tower seen below. It is a beautiful piece of art also because it depicts the story of the salmon runs and the Chinook Indians in our area when Vancouver was first discovered 150 years ago. The bells play musically 4 times a day at 9:00, 12:00, 3:00 and 6:00. At this time, a panel also opens and the story of the Chinook Indians is demonstrated by a recording of a story and 3-dimensional art work panels. It is all set to music of the bells.
When I taught preschool, I had a TA that was learning to play bells and she had a small personal set that she used to teach a lesson to my children in small groups. This is only part of them.
I had a small class of just 5 Kindergarteners when a new Lutheran school opened. We performed a song called "On Eagles Wings" for the church one Sunday during Lutheran School's Week.
Here, the same class performed it for their grandparents at a special TEA we sponsored to celebrate our grandparents.

Great photos for this weeks theme!...
i taught in nursery before too. I always feel that children not only dance with music, they dance with their heart too. All their emotional will clearly show when they dance. :)
Nice pick! I like them all, even the first photo. Kind of creative! :)

Our church has a hand bell choir that plays a couple of times a year. That is so neat what you are doing with the kids. How fun!!
Wow this is a great collection of music photos! Love the kids singing.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
For someone who wasn't sure what she would post, you sure came up with a lot of fitting photos! :)
Indeed, these children are very fortunate to have had such a tactile experience with music, holding the weight of the bells in their hands and feeling the power of the music they can make together.
those are all terrific "musical" photos! i've only heard a bit of a bell choir, but i was amazed!
happy saturday!
Great shots for this week! I love the kids with the bells. So cute!

also had trouble as I'm not at all musically inclined -- so did shameless promotion for my friend's daughter CD LOL
You came up with a wonderful set of musically themed photos.
Thank you for stopping by and for your great thoughts on growing older - at least number wise!
Love the pictures and I absolutely love bell choirs; I think the music is just beautiful - beautiful!!

I LOVE the shot of the belltower in Propestra Square; that is a beautiful piece! And great job on the design of that banner; it is lovely too. Did you sew it as well?
Hello Paulie,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am away from home at my daughter's. I have my laptop here and posted on Thursday but then we left for Nashville on Friday morning and I didn't take it. We attended a Christian Women's Conference with 23,000 others. We just returned to her house a few minutes ago. I will catch up on your earlier posts tomorrow. I wanted to do a Photo Hunter's post early but didn't come up with anything. I love the Bell Tower, it would be wonderful to hear those. There were some that rang in the morning while I was visiting my son's last month.
Mama Bear
Wonderful shots! The kids are so cute and the clock tower looks amazing. Thanks for sharing :)
Fun photos. I was also in a bell choir, for about 8 years. I really enjoyed that time.
Thanks for stopping by my site to see my photos.
Blessings, Kim

I love bell choirs, and what a beautiful banner that you designed. Very creative, Paulie. Thanks for visiting Pollywog Creek.
You shared really wonderful photos. The kids are so adorable!
Thanks for droppin' by.
The only musical instrument I was forced to play in school was the flute and the triangle both of which failed to interest me to being musically inclined :) Here's my music
beautiful photos!
children performing are really a joy to watch, and it would be more satisfying if you're involved in the preparation of the performance.
Great selection. This is such a cool theme!
Sorry to be so late. Lovely photos, as always.
Great photos! My favourite has to be the banner, I think it's lovely.
Love all the photos you chose. The banner is beautiful and I love the sounds of a bell choir.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Great photos. Yes there are A LOT of entries in photo hunt now and it is hard to remember which one has been through. I thought I had stopped at yours but didn't. Glad I did now.
I'm comment number 97. I am impressed.
This is a very interesting story to go with your music photos.
The banner is beautiful, the idea of a bell choir wonderful and I loved the photos of the children.
Thanks for visiting Paulie.

Oh, Pulie, I was just cruisin' along till you mentioned On Eagle's Wings. That song makes me cry. And the kids did it? Double tears.
Great photos! Thanks for stopping by, sorry I'm so slow posting this week!
