December Theme Day: "Joy"

The December theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "Joy" and when I saw this float at our Santa Claus Parade a couple of weeks ago it reminded me of the joy of tobogganing each winter as a kid. Doesn't that little guy look thrilled? I also liked the creatures on the float looking up at the action and in particular check out the wee squirrel who is hanging onto the scarf! I'll show more from the parade later in the month.

Taken For Granted said...: Fine image for the theme. I fondly remember tobogganing as a kid. Never finished a run without gales of laughter.; December 1, 2018 at 11:50 AM
Bill said...: What a joyful memory to share, Pat. I didn't go toboganning as a kid but I did ride my sled down the huge hill up street from where I grew up. A joyful moment indeed also a little crazy because at the bottom of the hill we flew right across the street and luckily we never got hit by a car. :); December 1, 2018 at 12:01 PM
