The expression on his face is too funny! He wasn't having a good day, was he? Even though he looks so nice in that uniform!
And the dessert looks amazing. Have a great weekend!

The facial expression is quite colorful, too! I wonder how they feel, dressing up like court jesters? Boy, the times certainly have changed!
I also did Photo Hunt. Come share your link! :) http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-colorful/

I wonder if he really wanted to wear that today. He is very colorful. The dessert looks really yummy!

Perfect choice! I think I have a photo of this same guy with a grouchy look :)
And...I hope we are getting the recipe to the delicious looking cake.

Maria, that's a classic shot. What a puss on his face, sorry but the first one is definitely my favorite.

Hi Maria, very cool theme photos! That's funny how you caught that pouting expression from this guard. And wow that cake is very colorful. I love all the fruit loaded on the top. Looks very delicious!
Have a great day!

I think I'd be grouchy too if I was wearing that outfit and a bunch of tourists were taking my picture. :grin:

That is an unfortunate uniform. Poor guy, I'd be pouting too!
