The penny whistle

... or 'Here's one I prepared earlier' :-D
No time for anything else today - been getting ready for a break away with Lester and our two offspring (they're a bit too old to be referred to as children, really). We haven't holidayed all together for quite a few years so it's going to be a very special time and I won't be posting or commenting while we're away. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone when we get back, though.

This is a sculpture by Tom Harvey ( I took the title of the shot from his title for his work ) and celebrates the start of Evesham's first music festival in 2007. The background was too busy, even with the shallowest dof I could manage, so I did some very simple processing on the shot.

Happy weekend ; see you soon. xx

Alison, thank you for the comments you left on my shots, but I haven't seen new ones from you. Hope all is well :)

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@anazad511 Thank you for your concern, Ana. Yes, all is well. I've been on holiday with my family for a week and we got back yesterday. The 4 of us haven't been on holiday together for some years, so I chose to take a break from 365 and wait until we returned home to resume posting/commenting. I took photos while we were away, though, and am currently going through them.
