WEEKEND REFLECTIOND AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for WeekendReflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is C and Clown.   From thinking what photo can I find to illustrate CLOWN to coming up with a COLLECTION of COLOURFUL photo on this post. Below is a Puffin which is known as the CLOWN of the see.These shots were taken when I visited Great Saltee Island in Ireland.

Then I had a brain wave.  I was passing a 'party shop' and thought I might find  inspiration in there and below are the photos of some scary CLOWNS. and a CLOWN tie., my grand CHILD, Matthew and this is my STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.
