Assignment: Joy of Childhood
Think back on your childhood. What were the simple things that delighted you? Watch your own children. What little discoveries are they making while they play? Mudpies or stickball, tea parties or playgrounds, try to capture those childhood pleasures we forgot as we grew up. You can use this as a chance to practice children's portrait photography or use objects and/or places if there are no children available to you.
To me, when I look back, the joy of childhood encompass all the joys of not having care/responsibilities of an adult (of course when I was a child I had a different prospective). When you can go to the lake and Tarzan all day, or lay on the beach. When you can play when you want, eat when you want and sleep as much as you want. Or eat ice-cream as much as you want and have it all over your face:

Or when you are moving, and the whole house is boxes for a while and your toys are limited to just some that you love the most, until we move to the new house. You build a fort out of boxes and get into your world… another joy of childhood – you get to play in your own world:

And some face painting for every joyful day:

One of my favorite pictures took at a clown show (works a bit for the assignment of Joy of Childhood as well):
But this was taken long ago.
For this assignment, I had fabricate some rain and titled my shots as "Drying in the Sun":
