Spoiled for choice

Today, I had my work cut out! Remember I told you yesterday that I was getting so much better at organising my day around my - self afflicted:) - daily assignment?

We had an open day and free art event for kids and grown ups at my beloved Tooting Bec Lido and I was asked to document the event.

As usual I had an early start to my day ... and I wanted to get my swim in before the event begun.

Easy peezy ... I enjoyed my swim while the sun was just trying to find a way through the clouds.

Come 10 am a whole bunch of kids were ready to let their creative juices flow. I was ready to jump into action too.

It was lovely to see the kids totally ensconced in their world of pastels, paint brushes and crayons. What better back drop for inspiration than the Tooting Lido on a late summer's day!

Some children even went for a quick dip after having finished one painting and before throwing their colourful inspiration onto another fresh sheet of paper. There was no stopping them.

Parents and adults were itching to have a go themselves. Some couldn't wait their turn and threw themselves in the deep end even before the children's session was over.

Creative juices certainly seemed to flow as ceaselessly as the prominent Lido fountain.

From my point of view, I has spoiled for choices. So many cute kids utterly absorbed and unsuspecting of the camera. Even the adults didn't mind having my lens escort their artistic progress.

It was hard not to take good shots...

I'd like to leave you with one of the many impressions captured on the day ....
