Excellent capture Mary, we call them thongs here in Australia but I think that means a whole other thing over your side of the world!!! LOL
Love the bright colours and use of shadow play.
Very well done.

Slippas, as used in Pidgin English here :-)!! And they are always taken off and left outside on the steps before entering a home! Why? The dirt isn't tracked into the house for one; nor does it get into your bed :-)!! Fabulous colors, shadows, and composition, Mary!
