ralph lee's puppets

 chanda's modern dance teacher borrows masks for her rainforest dance. these are three extra she isn't using this year, so chanda and i were given the task of returning them to their maker, puppeteer ralph lee. i couldn't resist taking a few pics of them first. they're beautifully made. above is the crocodile mask . . 

 and two monkey masks . . 


 an exhibit of ralph's puppets in his apartment complex that changes seasonally.

ralph's company is the mettawee river theatre company. in september they will be at the cathedral of st. john the divine, here in new york. i hope to be there! during the summer they will be touring upstate new york, vermont and massachusetts. will they be near you, eva? you can see the schedule here.

 we walked back along the river and were surprised to see that the playground was open. often, in past years, it hasn't opened until after memorial day, but it was just so warm today that i guess they had to open it!
