Nottingham Carnival Smile

It was the Nottingham Carnival at the Weekend

A really good event and an excellent photo opportunity.

The costumes and headdresses are always fabulous and there are lots of smiles on everyone's faces.

I have probably photographed this lady before on previous events, she posed nicely when I asked her for a photo.
