Taste of Sunshine


An encounter during our recent visit to California.
Would love to have some of that sunshine now!
Might be easier to fly south again myself.
My wings may be temporarily clipped.
I have to go be a grown up instead.
No one told me being a grown up
was going to last so long!
Looking forward to my
second childhood!
;-)

Gorgeous photo. V.
Interestin observations about the second childhood, sounds very nice to me :)

A wonderful image so nicely captured. It's raining in California today, if that makes you feel better. :-)

There's a saying: imagination equals limitless freedom. Just looking at this image I have no problem flying in sunshine.

I'm living like a grownup since my wife passed and I don't like it.

I believe that you dip into second childhood on occasions and it's part of your charm.

A wonderful shot John. I am currently living my second childhood, albeit in an older body. :) "V"

What a lovely shot to cheer up our wintery blues - don't wish for a 2nd childhood, I don't think it'll be as much fun as the 1st :( V

Captivating image of this little sprite. I know what you mean about lack of sunshine! V

Beautiful red framing and a good catch of the hummer. I lived in the North for a long time and really suffered seasonal depression. We all need some sunshine. :) V
