Hula Hoop Memories ...

“If you never did you should.
These things are fun. And fun is good.”

   ~ Dr. Seuss
    (Theodore Seuss Geisel)

     ~1904-1991
This sweet little girl could heed these words of Dr. Seuss and give her hula hoop a whirl in this candid capture on a chilly April day at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I presented the image in sepia to enhance a nostalgic mood.

The hula hoop is a toy hoop that is twirled around the waist, limbs or neck. The modern hula hoop was invented in 1958 by Arthur K. “Spud” Melin and Richard Knerr, but children and adults around the world have played with hoops, twirling, rolling and throwing them throughout history.
