I never got the name of this lovely lady, as her family, when interviewed, couldn't even count the number of kids they had. The lady in charge just looked up from the baby she was nursing, surprised at my question, and looked around her at the heaps and heaps of babies and young, dusty boys and then looked at me and shook her head.
Naming them all would have taken all day and a lot of effort.
This girl has beautiful braids, though, so now she is braid-girl. And a pretty necklace, partly made out of ancient pearls, which the Tamashek absolutely love. You can also see a pretty typical leather tent in the background. They color the leather red by rubbing ochre rocks against it, and the same rocks can incidentally be used as make-up, too! I was told that women color the skin under their eyes red when they menstruate. Sort of a "keep away" message, I suppose.
This girl's family are truly semi-sedentarized nomads, if that makes any sense to anyone. They spend most of the year in the town of Menaka (poor goats!), and move to walking distance outside of town during the cold season.

I learned how to french braid my own hair! Very excited. I have lamented for a long while about the fact that I couldn't french braid my own hair. When I tried, I kept ending up with a dutch braid, where it looks like the braid is sitting on top, rather than half hidden/incorporated into the rest of the hair. It just wasn't clicking. The problem was, the strand on the outside needs to go OVER the strand in the middle. Not under, which is what I kept doing all those years.
I have a thing for them. I just love them!. She never lets me braid her hair, but today she was excited because we were going Ice-Skating, so I talked her into it hehe. I'm pretty proud of the result, considering she kept moving while I was making them.
Not sure about this pic, but I have a weakness for back portratis and braids so yeah, I decided to upload it.

Milkmaid braids have been an obsession of mine for quite some time and I'm so happy to be able to put my hair up in them! yay! The kanzashi headband was made by my darling friend Fee at www.peachypan.com

I’m all about the braids, lately! I’ve sported my “Jedi braids” for two days in a row. They are actually much easier to rebraid on day two because the hair is already sectioned.
I avoid episodes I - III, so I’d forgotten all about the braids that Padawans wear before they become Jedi Knights. While I’m not actually wearing a Padawan braid (because those are typically braided from the nape of the neck), I like to think it’s a bit of a Star Wars connection. Let’s pretend they are Jedi braids. (Just please don’t cut them off with a lightsaber.)

This series of aerial images explores the ethereal flow of Iceland's braided rivers—veins carved into volcanic terrain, painted by nature's untamed palette. Shot from above, each frame invites viewers into a realm where geology becomes geometry, and water dances like ink spilled on canvas.
O ano está acabando e o ENEM é amanhã!!! Como não seria bom estar estudando hoje, o que seria mais relaxante pra mim? Fazer as unhas! Fui logo testando meu talento nas tranças nas unhas e pronto! kk o problema dessa nail art é definitivamente a quantidade de camadas, que deixa a unha fofona uó..já a mão direita...fica pra próxima! KKKKKKK beijão!
Chotlo, I really love some of the french braids that are in your photo stream. Some of the braids on Flickr look like works of art. I wish I could braid something more than a french or dutch braid...
Here I cropped out most of the white. I also rotated it so the braid was up. Thanks again, Crow!

Always a complete contrast to her strictly 2-braids sister, A always wants to try something new. Funky wonky side braid today.

Taken on 35mm colour film about 1970 in Hamilton Canada.
A poster for the famous 1960s musical, Braids.
Braids is the story of four sisters who are in the army.
Bloodthirsty to the core, they love nothing better than a full on charge with bayonets, much shouting and the simple pleasures of military drill at dawn.
Of course, such an idyllic existence can't last, and demobilisation soon rears its ugly head.
As the film ends, the sisters are hurled into a peacetime nightmare, where all they can do each day is hang about looking soppy in trees and braiding each other's hair.
All this with a set of songs unparalleled at the time, including the catchy "This is the yawning of the way of the Erebus", and "Earth".
261 photos merged into one image. I like how the clouds seem to weave in and out of each other. I haven't been getting out much for timelapse photography lately. I still have the urge, so I've got a ton of timelapses with this view, from my back yard. I've just finished my antibiotics and I'm finally getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia. It's 'funny' all the 'little' things we take for granted every day. It's good to breathe easy!!! (or at least be close to it again)
