This is by far one of my favorites! From raisins to fresh grapes – it’s as if these little busy dudes are pumping in some air to produce giant inflated stuff. Maybe they are huge balloons. I’d like to live in a small place with these huge balloons around – I wish they can take me somewhere nice.
Welcome to the Mininiam island, where wanderlust is best cured with sweetness, creamy beach bumming and lost of sun. Turn that dessert into a great photo idea. Feeling creative by now?
