Patiently waiting

We're in Hanmer Springs for a few days, and timed it for their annual Christmas parade, which we didn't know was on til we got here. This colourful character was making animals and swords out of balloons. I watched the children in line patiently waiting for their creation. This little lad was so good, standing there expressionless until we was given his balloon. If face was priceless when he received it.

I took lots of photos of the parade, but I love the colourfulness of this photo.
