What a great bunch of images. I love the colors, the vibrant attitude, the love of life that this series communicates. I really love the great fashions and self-expression!
I really like how you tagged each of your photos in a fun way, (on the fanny pack, on the balloons, marking one of the paver stones…etc.)
Also, the topless guy, he’s hot. AND, the fairy wings, I want them for my daughter. Gorgeous photos!
Yes! What a colorful post, starting with the rainbow flag all the way through the unbrella at the end!!
I also love looking for your Blogitse watermark in all your photos. It’s like a treasure hunt. 🙂
Fantastic! Such color, activity and good feelings coming through.
Wonderful! The “love” shot is great!

You ended up with a veritable rainbow of shadows!
SHADOW DANCE
Shadows here and shadows there,
Shadows, shadows everywhere!
Shadows left and shadows right;
Shadows dancing through the night!
Shadows crouching on the wall;
Shadows spring and shadows fall
On the unsuspecting guest,
Who thought shadows offered rest!
