Calder's Circus

image source: 1, 2, 3

This weekend I found a beautiful Calder's Circus poster and a neighbor's yard sale.  After I brought it home, the girls and I ended up watching YouTube videos of that beautiful circus well into the evening.  Calder's Circus is absolutely magical with all of the wire, wood, and cloth animals, and the way Alexander Calder brings them to life.  Every-so-often from the other room you could hear "whhhooooaaa!" or dueling giggles from the girls.  I love sharing these sorts of things with them.
