Thanks Joanne for sharing your carousel photos.
Wow! Such beautiful photos! Carousels are so much fun, and quite magical! My granddaughter always loves them, but I think they are enjoyed by all ages. Nice selection! The one on youtube from Switzerland is unique!!
They are so beautiful and the memories of riding a carousel put a smile on my face this AM. Thanks guest blogger Joanne and thank you too Ruth E to always starting my morning off in a good way!
I love carousels. The first time I went on one, I was 23 and in Paris. What a fun experience 🙂
A nice memory. Thanks for sharing Colline.
Such a worldly blog you have; it’s always fun to see what treasures your connections across the globe share.
As a child I was scared of carousels; I think it was the painted features on all of the animals; they looked kind of menacing to me.
As an adult, I have to confess I’m still not a fan of this ride…
All 3 are wonderful. I am drawn to the novel expressions on the cat & cow and from Beaune.
Carousels are just so beautiful and fun. I always smile when I am around one. Great photos.
