Chalk Art--A Simple Pleasure

When we were young, it took little to make us happy. A piece of chalk, a ball, a tree to climb, a red wagon, or a couple of stones to throw in a lake. We didn't need big houses, fancy cars, fashionable clothes, big screen TVs, or expensive watches. Life was so much simpler.

Today is a bright sunny day in Portland. Unfortunately, I am stuck at home because I hurt my back while bending down last night to get night pictures for blip. I did not realize photography could be so dangerous. And, Diane has reminded me at least 40 times today that this would not have happened if I had strengthened my core muscles (as she has told me many times to do).

I decided a little walk would do me good and was able to capture these young girls enjoying the day. Then, it was back in the house to rest the back.
