It's my son's first Boy's Festival (Tango no Sekku - Japanese traditional festival for boys on May 5; we display warrior-dolls to express the hope that boy(s) in the family will grow up healthy and strong).

今回のインスピレーションは色使いがとても印象的でした。一応、同じ系統の色を使ってみた…つもりです。(あとタグと。)

写真は息子の初節句です。
インスピレーションは季節的にも感謝祭っぽいなぁと思いつつも、日本人なので感謝祭には無縁だし…と悩んだ結果、祭つながりで、成長に感謝できて、何となく写真の中に今回のインスピレーションと合いそうな色があったという初節句を選びました。季節はずれですね。
