Man is flying too fast for a world that is round.
Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision. James Thurber

Flying Colors: victorious; extremely successful.
The term comes from the practice of a victorious fleet sailing into port with flags flying from all the mastheads.

    I love fun parks! the rides are the best high. The scare is delicious! I love all the details in this one, including the seagulls? and the fireworks. Makes me think of the time I went to Sydneys Luna Park with my dad when I was a kid! Great quote about flying too fast. I agree… have a lovely creative week. xxx
