P52 / 22 / Blimey Cow Photo a Day Challenge

For the month of June I am tackling the Blimey Cow Photo a Day Challenge.

It will only really make sense if you are familiar with the insane awesomeness that is the Messy Mondays video series. If you're not, you should head over to their channel and start catching up. I will group the week's shots into one post and continue to post on Sundays.

I am so very proud of their accomplishments and growth, but so very sad that I no longer get to have them in class and see them everyday.

This week Germany celebrated International Worker's Day, also known as May Day. The towns put up tall maypoles with decorations, then guard them all night long so nobody from another town can steal them. This week I inadvertently parked under the maypole a few days after the festivities, and when I looked up through the sunroof of my car, this is what I saw...
