Pineapple Dance

Oh she is happy! She's got her pineapple hat and a skirt just right for dancing! Hands in the air, she celebrates the moment.

It is so much fun to look beyond what is in front of me to see what else there is to see! Personifying a tree seed swings wide the door of imagination.

I shot this image with my macro lens, a 60 mm prime, blurring out the background and enabling me to focus in on this little island dancer alone. The wind didn't allow for sharpness all around but even that worked in my favour, adding movement to her dance.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day, my friends! I took this shot a couple of years back from a revolving rooftop restaurant here in Winnipeg. We were situated right in front of a window facing the fireworks over at The Forks when the turning stopped to take in the show. To this day, those were the best seats ever for viewing the fireworks. Too bad the restaurant is no longer in business. That would be a do-over.

What about you? Where are your best-seats-ever for fireworks viewing?
