Closing

 Did you watch any of the Olympics? We love the figure skating. Did you see the closing ceremony? Well, never fear. I have watched it for you and snapped the most stunning moments. Put your feet up and enjoy.






I must say that they excel at chandeliers!


Was there some kind of elephant event that I missed?





Madam Butterfly I believe.





The Eternal Flame being extinguished.


And of course Tara and Johnny. He may be looking more beautiful than her today. Gives me kind of a Geisha/Opera vibe.

Every flutter is a victory when you’re brave enough to fly toward the flame.

I don't watch the Olympics or sports but I do love the figure skating. Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing, Ginny.

I too belong to those not generally interested in watching sports at all, BUT I do sometimes watch figure skating and ice dance. This time I did watch the ice dance final and also the pair skating final. I actually also ended up watching (part of) two curling games because the Swedish women's team happened to be playing when I turned the TV on - and they won both those games, and also got the gold medal in the end... I did not watch the whole closing ceremony, only the start of it.

we somehow missed this, I will check the DVR and see if its there. we watched everything the skating team did, from the USA finals where they chose who would go to the gala Saturday night, we only watched the skaters in the gala... we love all the USA skaters and rooted for them, every country represented deserved to win, they are all so very good

I've never watched the olympics. If I watched any though it would be the ice skating. Looks like an amazing closing ceremony

We don't usually watch the Olympics, but if we do, it's the ice skating. I did hear that the closing was very nice.

Thanks for showing us glimpses of the closing ceremony, Ginny. Astounding! I certainly did enjoy watching some of the figure skating this time around.

Thank you! As I’ve said, we don’t get TV, so I didn’t watch any of the Olympics. 😊❤️

We watched most of the entire Olympics. Some pretty exciting venues. Figure skating really is my favorite but I actually enjoyed all of the sports.
Great pictures Ginny.

I didn't watch The Olympics, but the ice skating I'm always fascinated with. What talent they have. This is such a grand performance. Look at all the colors and designs! I hope you have a good last week of February, Ginny. Can't believe we are in March very soon.

The main thing I watched was the figure skating too. I could never ever stand up on skates - let alone skate or twirl my body!
