New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: Peekaboo . . . He was one of the many who gathered to watch Joe Mangrum create his mandala from sand. Art has so many integral components. One of the most critical of them (in my humble opinion) is the appreciator.
P.S. I am heading to Japan early Saturday morning for a 10 day vacation! While I will try to keep posting regularly, I may miss a day or two. I am excited about the chance to visit this incredible country (thanks to Brigadeiro and Judy from Atlantis Home for the inspiration to take this trip) but I am a bit nervous about spending 13.5 hours on a plane. I cannot remember the last time that I spent that length of time in one spot. I am sure the trip will be worth that sacrifice, though.
Great photos ...
I would like going to Japan too, one of
the countries which fascinates me most,
everything is so different...
I wish you an excellent vacation !:)

Oooh! It's finally here! Hope you have a fantabulous time in Japan! I cannot wait to see your photos and hear about your experiences ;)
13.5 hours is ok ;) It'll be over before you know it.
Bon voyage!

what a lucky girl you are! i dream to go to japan. well have a good trip and bring us back some of your amazing photographs. these 2 ones are really funny, and it looks like they were taken indoor/in a studio, so the umbrella adds to the playful feeling.
