Wonder
If you have been to Paris, you'll never miss the carousel by the Eiffel
I believe many of us have font memories with carousel
it makes me WONDER
how much our parents spent on carousel tickets when we were young
I know how much I spent on carousel tickets just to see the smile on those little faces of my kids
Carousel also reminded me as a little kid
how we find WONDER in the most ordinary thing
the carefree joy of riding on a carousel
can't help but WONDER
is the feel of innocence all pouring down on us whenever we see those pretty painted horses?
the music, the twinkling lights and all the childhood WONDER
all happened on a carousel

the first photo was edited using photoshop elements 10

What a wonder-ful post Kirsty! And so recognizable too :) Yes, lots of tickets bought here too. We have one by the sea here. And you know, I have to admit I can't remember seeing one near the eifel tower... How come I totally missed it? Lol! Must have been that I wasn't a kid and didn't have a kid at that time.
You all have such wonderful posts and photos, I had some trouble coming up with something this week. Beautiful shots Kirsty!
Hugs and happy week! xx Wendy
Oh wow!!. This is such a magical post, Kirsty!. You know, I haven't been on a carousel :). But, I could feel the excitement every kid (and adult) must have at the moment they saw these magical place. I can even hear the music :). LOVE!

I've never been to Paris to see this but it does evoke wonderful memories ... terrific post and lovely photos ... I'm safe in Lincoln and being looked after by my aunt when it should be the other way around! Lol! Have a lovely day
I still love carousels, even after all these years. You got great shots. I love the way you showed the little scenes that are painted around the top of the carousel. Those are great details to capture.
Love your take on the word "wonder" and your photographs are amazing!! ~ Blessings, Tracey

The wonderful of it all... LOVE, LOVE your photos. Especially the first one. Love your editing my friend.

What a marvelous post. yes Carrousels hold fond memories for me too, my parents used to take me and then as a teenager I just brought myself and then as a parent I followed in their footsteps. And my dear how the times had changed from when I used to ride them at .35 cents!!!
a beautiful carousel and you have captured the magic of them/it very well~! i think that you nailed the theme this week.
thank you for your visit to my blog as well as your enthusiastic encouragement. i do appreciate it.

Great photo's Kirsty, your trip seems to be so much fun this time!

How beautiful! There is definitely something wonderful about a carousel!
How magical and beautiful your pictures and words are. I too could ride on these anywhere. My daughter hopes to visit Paris one day and I'm sure she would love to ride on it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kirsty! I'm so, so delighted to see your photos of Paris. I'm thrilled that you went! Been a bit busy and not to much time to blog but looking forward to going through your posts.
Hope you are well and have a super weekend. Gosh, your girls are fantastic!
