Today is theme day for all worldwide city daily photo bloggers. The theme is feet! These are the feet of a Native American male dancer at the Heard Museum Hoop Dance competition.
I love the details. He is wearing comfortable beaded moccasin boots with ribbons and bells that make a nice sound when he walks. Moccasins are very comfortable and I used to wear them when I was a kid.
I love the sounds of Native American costumes. The hair looks like it might be from a sheep, but I am not sure.
I particularly like the goat hoof rattles that many Native Americans wear in costumes. I have two goat hoof rattle belts that I have on the back of doors in my house so that I can hear that gentle rattle when I open and close the doors. I find the sound soothing and it reminds me of Native American festivals.

Ah Julie, this is so perfectly gorgeous! Thank you!
How fabulous is this?! Great choice for today's Theme.
So important to keep ones feet close to the ground of tradition, where would we go else?
and he is a Steelers fan. Winning shot.
Meet Arizona feet and Scottsdale feet! Native American Feet! Dancing feet greet watching feet! Colorful, costumed feet dance to a beat! What a feet treat! EAGAN feet greet from my Minnesota street!
A colorful post. I can almost hear the dancing and feel the music:-)
Julie, this photo is culturally important and am so happy that we have this theme so you can include this photo. It's quite beautiful.
Nice choice, Julie.
Great choice Julie!
Terrific choice.
i like the native american culture! thanx for sharing...
Awesome choice. His feet are great -- and his knee is pretty cute, too. :)
Wow! Hats off for the funkiest feet. I can safely say with regret, I will never get this shot here.
It's incredible how people can do with their feet :). Nice, tho. Happy feet-ing :).
What gorgeous detail Julie!
very nice and so interesting. Recently my wife's parents drove through the Southwest and were invited to watch sacred Hopi dances from a roof top and even eat a native meal. The rules were no photographs or documentation of any kind.
I would love to experience that.
Hello Julie!
Lovely and so creative picture!
Well done!

Lovely, colorful shot. We have something similar in Bermuda called the Gombeys, a native dance troupe. They wear fancy accoutrements and yet, occasionally I notice running shoes on their feet! I guess it's the Gombey-lite version. But the moccasins you photographed are fabulous.
I want the shoes to go to party
Perfect Scottsdale feet!
Great feet and not something we get to see very often. I just looked at your other photos of the Hoop Dance Competition and it looks really incredible.
A wonderful choice, Julie, especially since they remind me of those gorgeous festival photos you posted. Love them too.
Great idea Julie. I love the sounds they make took. We have a gathering north of us every Thanksgiving, they're terrific to watch.
Dancing feet! Very nice.
Those feet work very hard. Great, colorful photo!
Perfect. Love the color.
wow, that's very special for the theme day! :)

Great post and choice for this theme, the costume looks splendid and love those moccasins, I guess are gloves for feet.
Details are great.
When I've read about Theme Day: Feet, I thought, what a problematic and uniteresting theme. Now I see photos like Yours, by Jarart or Fio, and it's quite interesting :)
This photo reminds of the powwows I went to when I was little! Beautiful moccasins, they must be really comfortable :)
Very Good Dance Feets.....Its Amazing..
Nice picture. I love the details. That is a witty idea for the CDP theme day. The only thing that is most likely not Native is the Steelers lanyard. (;

Beautiful photo, and you gotta love that Steelers lanyard, especially because it's in keeping with the color scheme!

Great shot for theme day and you have the perfect Native-American subjects to capture. Thank you for your choice.

Fanciest feet award!
