It's the first of the month -- and that means Theme Day for participating City Daily Photo bloggers. Today's theme? Feet!Yes, feet. (Foot fetishists of the world, rejoice! Today you have a veritable treasure trove over at the CDP website...)
Regular readers of GOSP will recognize this whimsical tilt-a-whirl from a recent post about the South Pasadena Fun Fair. I couldn't resist posting another shot for today's theme. There is something so tender and hopeful and human about feet. These dangling sneakered tootsies make me smile. I think poet Sharon Creech gets to the point here:
Footfalls
Thump-thump, thump-thump
bare feet hitting the grass
as I run run run
in the air and like the air
weaving through the trees
skimming over the ground
touching down
thump-thump, thump-thump
here and there
there and here
in the soft damp grass
thump-thump, thump-thump
knowing I could fly fly fly
but letting my feet
thump-thump, thump-thump
touch the earth
at least for now. . .

Clever you. Great take on feat/feet and love the photograph. Now that's a lotta feet. Good one, Laurie.
Good one, LA!
Head and shoulders and brilliant feat/feet. Good choice on the colour to adding a real zing.
Great photo for theme day, Laurie.
I love your choice!
If there is such a thing as reverse vertigo - that's what this implies to me. The colors and sense of a fancy free moment is pure delight.
I count 20 feet, probably 20 feet above ground.
Love the photo and poem.
Ooh, fun! I want to be up there with them right now!
Now those are some FEET! I love it!
Bravo Laurie, this one is incredible.
Very clever composition!
which way is up??
Great photo - so many feet and lots of color!
I love all the colors on this one!
Laurie always puts her best foot forward.
Cool shot.
This is such a fun photo! Love all the bright colors!
Kickin' it!
I can't say enough good things about this post, Laurie. It's the perfect start to the summer season. I was right there while I read the poem, eight years old all over again.
Very creative indeed. I like the color and theme. This could be a postcard or advertisement for the amusement park
I LOVE THIS PHOTO! the color, the motion, and best of all kiddy feet. Super post, Laurie.

Very clever. I wish I had thought about that. Really good photo for the theme day.
South Pasadena feet! California feet! Meet carnival feet! Up feet, down feet, spin around feet! Kid feet meet fun feet off the street but in the heat! Where are Laurie's feet? Your theme FEET were a colorful treat! EAGAN daily feet greet from my friendly Minnesota feet street!
