I’m a little late with this post, but the photo popped up and I just couldn’t let it get away.
Davie Street shut down again on September 11th to celebrate the 6th annual Davie Day. Once I came upon this scene I was struck by the excitement of this little girl in her white dress being able to paint with abandon, and a parent letting her go for it. I don’t know who was having more fun, her or me, but I was more than happy to let her and her red cheeks do all the work while I did all the photography.

Beyond adorable little girls covered in paint, what are some of the best things about public festivals?

Sophisticated eyewear

Food for the sophisticated palate

Environmentally friendly transportation

And, of course, what’s a festival without Pocahontas making balloon animals?
