Community fun in downtown Silver Spring

We were having ice cream at Ben & Jerry's on Ellsworth Ave when Thea noticed a woman dancing in the park across Fenton Street. She wanted to go check it out, especially when we saw a guy drawing on the sidewalk next to the dancer.

When we approached, the dancer was frozen in a pose, but then came to life suddenly, reaching a few steps away for two pieces of sidewalk chalk, which she duly, and rather ceremoniously, offered to Thea and Liam.

Thea took a piece without reservation, huge smile on her face, and found a place on the ground to begin.
