Mary's Photo Contest Entry

I had given Lilly and her friend Piper each a box of over-sized colored chalk so they could make drawings on the sidewalk that abuts our backyard. When they had lost their zeal for making masterpieces, they made themselves a hopscotch board. My photo taken in June for the contest was this one of mid-air Lilly. I titled it When We Could Fly. It was my unabashed appreciation to go back to those days vicariously through those little girls. Keith and I had the bonus also of watching all the people out for strolls hopping on the board. I just love living here. We get just the perfect amount of foot traffic. My entry tied for first place, so I know this image hits the nostalgia nerve. I love it.
