An important task at the Commonwealth Morris Men's secret May Day gathering: fiddling up the sun.
Same Maypole, different settings: At Weeks Footbridge, left, and Holyoke Center in Harvard Square.
Great Meadows Morris and Sword, left (in various attires) and Red Herring at Weeks Footbridge.
The Winster Processional (dancing and walking) from Weeks to the Quad adjacent to Harvard's John Winthrop House.
A far shorter, and more crowded, stay than usual because of construction in the area.
Thus the festivities moved quickly up to Holyoke Center, where Muddy River Morris gave their musician a well-deserved salute.
Some "extreme" corner challenges from Hopbrook Morris.
In Newtowne Morris we trust...except that some prefer electronic commerce (right).
Dress code not required for Great Meadows.
Singing, and dancing, the "Padstow May Song."
Banbury Cross Morris: Can you spot the visiting alumna?
Later, the May Day Celebration moved out to Melrose, for the benefit of a good friend who has helped make it the great event it is.
