Running Away to Join the Circus
I've done a bit more on Esme's picture.
(The earlier version is in the post below)

The circus midway at night!
Sensory overload!
Esme has run away from home and is thinking 
the circus might not be the place for her.
Now she is going to have to keep running.
Maybe right back to her home.
But first, she will slip into the booth to have her fortune told.
And if the freaky clown would stop staring at her, 
perhaps a small cotton candy before she leaves . . .

Inspiration Avenue is the place for Wheels and Circles this week.
(I know you have to look twice to notice there is a wheel
. . . a ferris wheel . . . in the background :) 
But I was stumped by my own challenge again, what can I say?

  3. Esme reminds me of Romi, a name I came up with for an upcoming carnival-themed blogging event. Don't you just love the endless possibilities of our imagination? :) This is beautiful, Maggie.

    Much love,
