FUN is lighthearted pleasure with no age boundaries. Watching the streamers on this bicycle play in the breeze while its rider was no where to be seen was FUN!
Reminds me of our youngest daughter waking up one Christmas morning to find a new bike (without training wheels!) and wondering if the “magic strings” coming out of the handlebars helped Santa deliver it because we didn’t have a chimney!
Indeed fun is not only for kids. But sometimes we forget that is possible when you are grown-ups. I enjoyed the picture of the streamers on the bike, it cheered me up. Thanks for putting it out there.
This is such a great depiction of carefree fun…and memories of streamers from long ago. Seemed like there was always someone who had more luxurious streamers than you did! We didn’t know it at the time but those were the days….
Nice capture of the streamers streaming without the bike moving.

If you didn’t desaturate, then really good capture Patty. Just the right amount of shutter speed to imply the motion of the wind. Good shot.
