Quinceañera

This girl is celebrating her 15th birthday. But maybe
I should say this woman . . . because that's the
point of the Quinceañera celebration:  At 15, she
goes from being a girl to being a woman.  She was
not the only one marking this milestone yesterday
with a photo op in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

    I so much like the idea of the quincanera. Gotta take advantage of photo ops when they arise!

    Long tall shadows - how wonderful to celebrate 15. I was at the top at 16.

    When in México I was always charmed at the sight of these "women" and the celebrations, but the expense!!
