Bonne journée, photo challenge

Lens-Artists Challenge #298: To Be Young Again


I have completely forgotten how to spend a May break, so-called ‘Golden Week’ of Japan, when everyone takes a short vacation. Traditionally, May the fifth is the day for children and large streamers in the shape of carp are displayed. Such scenes are far from my memories, and now I only notice them when we go shopping. This photo shows a lot of streamers, but I ceded the place to the children and did not go near them. When I look at the big tree, the big streamers, and the little children, I wonder if it’s okay to play innocently again.

The picture at bottom was taken last year, of course with being young at heart.

    1. A lot of people including me want to stay young but do nothing. Perhaps it might be enough just to think about it sometimes.

  1. Tagnoue, of course being young at heart is the best attitude. I loved your opening paragraph and the sentence about playing innocently. The photos are wonderful.

    1. It’s rare to find an ice cream bar that puts a smile on everyone’s face, whether they like it or not.

      1. Of course it depends. The answer is always yes and no. At least I know the one and you should know. I believe that everyone has. That’s why the world is full of happiness.
