Lost In The Moment

An image of my nieces on Christmas day. They had made these little pouches and filled them with glitter and stars. They then proceeded to sprinkle “fairy dust” all over Grand Pa’s yard!!
I don’t think he minded!! ;p!!

    Precious and few are the moments we two can share.
    Quiet and blue, like the sky, I’m hung over you.
    And if I can’t find my way back home, it just wouldn’t be fair.
    Precious and few are the moments we two can share.

    This beautiful shot made me think of this song by Climax.

    Beautiful shot, Paul, I think you should have kept the glitter, even as a crowd controller….you’d blind them with it!
