ah, what a lovely comment 😊😊 THANK YOU!

So, I just use my iPhone! I do spend a few minutes editing each photo though - and this can be done in any photo editor, even the Microsoft Photo Editor. I always brighten them a bit, and then up the contrast.

For the moving pics, the iPhone has a rad feature called "LIVE" photos, and this is how I make the GIFS. I just change it from "LIVE" to "LOOP", and then its a GIF. 😊

And you are right. To be a kid is effortlessly free and colourful (I love your rainbow metaphor there🌈🌈 )
