Dijon, France
There was only a slight breeze when I took this picture, but it reminded me of something that happened a long time ago. On a very windy day when I was 4 or 5 years old my mother took me to see Santa Claus at Fashion Island (a local shopping mall). Afterward, as we walked to the car, a gust of wind knocked a huge Christmas ball off the side of a building and it started rolling quickly toward us. We were holding hands but I broke free and ran and hid behind a parked car. My mother wasn't so lucky. I watched as the ball chased her through the parking lot. She was very upset but thankfully uninjured. Strangely it didn't scare me at the time and afterward I thought it was funny. It took my mother a lot more time to find the humor in it. 😄
Have a great weekend!
Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

I like the red Christmas decoration. I can see why your mum was scared, personally I would probably laugh if it happened to me.
jolie déco de noël en lien avec des souvenirs !
Now THAT would’ve made a great photo! LOL
This one’s good too. I like the bright red.
At your young age the incident with the Christmas ornament should have put your off Christmas ornaments for ever. Good you mother was not injured. Your photo is perfect for the season.
It's a weird thing with kids, they often find serious injury funny (while also being the kids who show concern if you just stub your toe). I think it's some sort of protection mechanism. So I'm not surprised you found it funny if you were little.
That is an amazing, true story you have to tell! Wow!
