QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The problem with adults is they lose that child-like quality. And that's the level of inspiration that's so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. It's that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature."


~ Michael Jackson

This is a late entry. I wasn't able to get the 11 and 12th of Feb posted and just was able to get caught up enough to complete this one
 
Ahhhh some more joyous entries. Africans really know how to make people feel welcome. I love the way they seem to be running from different directions toward him--like west, east, north. In my head that seems symbolic. I enjoyed the shots from the ceremony again. Thanks a bunch.
 
I guess they saw all the dark people & assumed it was Africa. Are those flowers orchids?
