Tired Little Elf

Uploaded: December 16, 2012

Description


---
At the Southeast Pennsylvania American Red Cross chapter's [SEPA] Annual Holiday Party (for kids) Thursday evening in Center City Philly. This little Elf is the daughter of one of the volunteer "Elves" that wrapped and handed out COPIUS and beautiful gifts to the children. She was helping ALL night but now, all tuckered out, she was ready for a nap.
---
The corporate donors were VERY generous this year with toys and food donations for the party. Sunoco, for one, provides all of the emergency vehicles and fuel for SEPA and is generous with other donations throughout the year. Beautiful Sunoco toy TRUCKS of various sizes and colors brought JOY to both boys and girls this year. Other local companies including some MAJOR corporations are similarly generous (Comcast and WaWa come immediately to mind).

Cute capture and her eyes do look very tired, Michelle! PS - I just try to stand centered in my symmetry photos, and if not centered than crop with the perspective tool a little. #10467866
