This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, posted by Sheri, is “Carefree.” She wrote:
Whether a good memory was made in years past, yesterday, or only moments ago, I love letting the nostalgia wrap me up — like a borrowed sweater on a cold summer night. Even more, I love making new memories: a carefree summer at the lake, a stroll through the park, dancing in the rain . . . then all I need to do is remember, and the same carefree feeling washes over me.
In a new post specifically for this challenge, share a photo that means CAREFREE to you!
