Sapphire and her Un-Buried Treasure
SAPPHIRE: “Daddy! Daddy come quickly!”
DADDY: “What is it, sweet Sapphire? Are you alright?”
SAPPHIRE: “Oh yes, Daddy! I’m fine!” *Giggles.*
DADDY: “Then why did you call for me, sweetheart?”
SAPPHIRE: “Because I wanted to show you the treasure I found whilst I was playing in the garden!” *Excited.* “Look!” *Holds up a shard of pottery.*
DADDY: “Oh that’s a very pretty piece of blue and white Calico Ware, Sapphire! It looks quite old too. Where did you find it?”
SAPPHIRE: “Buried in the ground over there!” *Points paw to where it came from.* “Which I suppose makes it buried treasure!”
DADDY: “Yes indeed, Sapphire! That’s a wonderful and exciting find!”
SAPPHIRE: “May I keep it, Daddy and show everybear?”
DADDY: “Yes, so long as it has no sharp edges, Sapphire. I don’t want you cutting your little paws!!”
SAPPHIRE: “Oh no, Daddy! It has smooth, rounded edges.”
DADDY: “Then you may keep it, Sapphire.”
SAPPHIRE: “Oh thank you, Daddy! I’m going to go and show everybear my new un-buried treasure!”
The theme for for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 6th of June is "bokeh in blue", where I decided to use Sapphire. Sapphire is one of my miniature bear family. She is a little Russ Bear of royal blue plush with leather paws who arrived on Christmas Day 2023 – a gift from my friend BKHagar *Kim* I have photographed her sitting with a piece of Victorian era Calico Ware that I did indeed dig up from my garden. It’s the only piece I have ever found. She is sitting on the glass topped table on my back terrace, which has a blue tint to it, and is wonderful for creating a sparkling bokeh background. I hope you like my choice of subject for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
