Carnival 2008 (IV)

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 4 April 2008 in People & Portrait.

This is absolutely one of my favorite photos of the Bacchanal Carnival road march. This beautiful girl was walking by when I aimed my camera at her and she noticed and looked back and gave me this lovely smile!

Today I am one year older, another change of the increasing digits that marks the length of time of my existence on on the face of the earth. I have nothing much planned for the day, but I plan to take it easy and relax today.
