Bless Us Every One
Yesterday I received an early Christmas gift in the form of a humbling experience. As I walked out the door of a downtown card shop, a person walked past dressed in a rather outlandish outfit. A pair of cut-off lycra shorts were pulled over a pair of shiny taupe tights. They wore a rainbow wig whose luscious waves tumbled hallway down the back of a red hoodie. Atop the wig they sported a pair of short white bunny ears. A blue suede purse rested on one hip and three large but flat Christmas gift bags dangled from the opposite arm. A bouquet of festive mylar balloons tied with red curling ribbon and covered in Christmas cookies and holiday wishes floated above them. I followed behind snapping a photo and rationalizing the invasion by the fact you couldn’t see their face. We met up at the corner and while we waited for some cars to pass I remembered today’s Random Act of Kindness. “Start-up a friendly chat”. “Are you Santa’s Christmas bunny?” I asked
All I can say is "WOW"! Amazing shots, seriously. The busyness of life has kept me from this place on the web but I'll be catching up this weekend. Can't wait to review your other NY posts! Would you go back anytime soon?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lilly! I would like very much to go back. I didn't get to Chelsea and the High Point Trail and much to my dismay I did not visit The Metropolitan Museum. I was too pooped by the final day. I'm hoping some day my husband and I can tag a couple of days onto the beginning or the end of a trip to Montreal. The problem is the hotels are very expensive. Not too bad when you are splitting with friend(s) but a bit out of reach for me for a week when it's all coming out of the same pot.
