Invitational Meet in Schenley Park on Sept 7th. Not sure what team. just liked the pony tails a-flying as they warmed up. (Only one reference found to “a-flying” usage like asleep) Anyone say it?

Don’t know about the usage, but it sounds good to me. And it perfectly describes the picture.
Fabulous pic, so full of energy. I like the “pony tails a-flying.” It reminded me of Lord Byron’s poem,
“So, we’ll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.”
“A-flyin'” is a southern thing. Goes with “a-waggin'” (like “That dog’s tail was a-waggin’!”) and other a-verb combos. Cool pic!
