Beauty

I wasn't sure what picture to put for my first entry into the recently launched Sticky Fingers Gallery. The subject is Beauty and I do have lots of beautiful pictures of my children and my family and my home. None of me, mind. Gah.

And then I remembered this one:


I love the vivid red of this one brave and beautiful tulip emerging from the bed of green weeds in our yet to be tended garden. And how Freyja is completely absorbed by it. I look at her face and wonder what she is thinking as she sits there gazing at this flower. I like to think she is simply entranced by its beauty but I imagine that really she is fighting the urge to pick this treasure, which I have no doubt just told her not to!

Very clever (the red and red thingy) but am betting you just saw a lovely picture and snapped!
Love that you think she's dying to pick it too

I love this! the red wellies and the red tulip, but for me it's definitly about her face 'I want to pick it!'

Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone.

Not really having an artistic eye, I did indeed just snap the photo. But yes, I see that the red and red thing does look very nice!

Though I do just love looking at her little face, so absorbed.
