Yesterday: On the streets in Europe, in Greece and in Spain: people was angrily demonstrating for jobs and more money. In Germany politicians made a consens about the next president: Gauck (after Wulff had to quit the job; corruption many say; trying to get richer as he was.) In my poor hometown the only treasure they have are colors. They try to forget their sorrows on the street dressed colorful (at least at carnival)

This is so nice and funny, The band of the Ladybirds!
Congrats to the braves who defied snow
(and to the man in the foreground
who defied everything to dress up like that).

The world is a mixture of too many conflicting events.
Very sad, terrible, war, poverty, hunger, grief ….
it is very good for the heart to watch people who can not find a smile, an excuse to smile, for children, and our hearts.
your photos are sweet, sugar!
What I really like is the third, fifth and eighth!
bravo ….!

Colour is a wonderful way to forget! If we let it saturate us then we may have the biggest treasure… [maybe].
