The Blumes
A young girl with long, dark curly hair is standing in front of a brick entryway with a wooden door. She is wearing a pink tank top with a Hello Kitty graphic and appears to have a pouty or upset expression on her face. The image seems to capture a candid moment of childhood innocence and emotion.
