University of Kansas Medical Center Pathology team, they participate every year. Not happy with the focus and sharpness on most of these, still having focus issues with the camera but haven't sent it in yet to get checked. Made it to the annual Kansas City Dragon Boat Festival for a short time again this year. Very dark and cloudy for a while. Some photos not quite in focus but saving anyway. Sorry for the very large number of photos, no need to comment, please. Just saving to my album of the event.

Girl in the 'sweep' position operating the oar as a rudder in the rear to keep the boat straight. Taken from overhead as it was going under the International Friendship Bridge. 12th Annual Dragon Boat Festival on Brush Creek in Kansas City, Missouri. A cooperative effort with its sister city, Xi'an, China. The purpose of the festival is to promote international peace and friendship, so important in these times of unrest. Sorry for so many photos, just adding to my album of this wonderful yearly event.

Wonderful dancers in beautiful costumes performed on stage. Very heavily shaded, actually a trailer pulled by a truck that opens up, so not the best for photos. Earlier, dignitaries spoke from the stage, as well. The 13th Annual Dragon Boat Festival, a wonderful event held in Kansas City with its sister city Xi'an, China. It features vendors, face painting, entertainment and Dragon Boat Races for fun to encourage international friendship. Always a fun event. Took more at the entertainment this year. Sorry for so many photos, just saving a few of this year's photos to my album of the annual event. No need to comment.
