Ubiquitous Smiles

A boardwalk along the beach offers a sensory treat, early on a Summer's morn. And Nature's artistic brush encapsulates this hallmark moment, where beauty excels. Pastel panels of color, like cobbled bricks of sunlight line the walk with abstract art. Orange and blue commingle; while a mix of sun and sea collaborate on each hue. And familiarity warrants a much closer look, drawing you into the scene. Canopies of skittish leaves cast fickle freckles of shade amidst beams of dancing light. Nostalgia finds pleasantries that time had long forgotten, and restores their enchantment. And placidity's achieved; fueled by scenes of laughter and the ubiquitous smiles.

Hi Emile! I searched for Joe's Corner, and I find that you were well inspired. The picture reminds me also of Butler's Strawberry Patch. The colours spring out; I can understand why 'nostalgia' springs to mind. #7 // paul

This is fantastic! The images are great throughout but they really come alive in the "canopies of skittish leaves..."
