Default Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

Just sharing a little ray of sunshine as we get into chillier weather, at least on our side of the island! Here's some face-painting shenanigans that were going on at an event held to celebrate the US Coast Guard's birthday in the summer.

Hope you all enjoy your turkey, tofu, or whatever you choose to eat today.

Face Painting!

i like the way the background is blurred so the face is focussed. Did you do that in Photoshop?

Have a great day.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Nicky, I really like your face painting shot. Vignetting is working well with this one.

Have to agree with dvetter on the vignette. Automatically draws your eyes to that cute face.

Happy thanksgiving to my new American friends.

The Christmas season has officially begun!
