    1. Isn't it a great picture? I love the boater hats on some in the crowd.

  2. The picture is so apt for Friday. We had a few running around with firecrackers. They do think it's awesome, proving what? Wonder where the inspiration comes?

    1. The inspiration for acts of recklessness? I think it's the fear of fear! Or, are you asking where the inspiration for the tanka came from? If that's the case, then it's the continuous evening report of firecrackers on this holiday weekend. And, all those stupid young boys doing the lighting/throwing of those fireworks.

  3. Nice image and tanka, the question posed i think is rhetorical , the answer lies in the word perpetual

    Have a nice weekend

    Much love...

    1. You're probably right, but I'm always afraid I'm going to miss a legitimate question! Thanks for stopping by!
