Hi, everyone!
Okayyyy ...
It's just a spontaneous photo which I took one day before I got two widsomteeth removed. (I took this on 22nd July.)
Don't worry, bros, the other two wisdomteeth will also be removed in some months. -___-
Actually, I just uploaded this because I wanted to tell / show you that I'm still alive! :D
I hope everyone of you is doing great!
The fences & tall grass, the wine & celebrations, the twirl & lights of dresses, the fun of balloons & parks . . . the reminder that this IS the right direction. Just some of the random goodness that inspires me on Flickr!

O-mikuji are random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan. After making a small offering you choose one randomly from a box (a little bit like fortune cookies).
The o-mikuji is scrolled up or folded, and unrolling the piece of paper reveals the fortune written on it. It includes a general blessing which could be anything from a Small Blessing to a Great Curse... bit of a lucky dip really.
The o-mikuji predicts the person's chances of his or her hopes coming true, of finding a good match, or generally matters of health, fortune, life, etc. When the prediction is bad, it is a custom to fold up the strip of paper and attach it to a pine tree or a wall of metal wires alongside other bad fortunes in the temple or shrine grounds. A purported reason for this custom is a pun on the word for pine tree and the verb 'to wait', the idea being that the bad luck will wait by the tree rather than attach itself to the bearer. In the event of the fortune being good, the bearer has two options: he or she can also tie it to the tree or wires so that the fortune has a greater effect or he or she can keep it for luck.
