Dance Information

This was the first time since Thomas Jefferson was president in 1803 that both had emerged in the same year. I loved watching them fly through my backyard and even though their wings are actually orange, when the sun was on them they looked like gold.

Suggested music is Autumn Gold from Vallin Suite 4 by Colin Dewar.
