It is a detail of a baby doll that my grandmother gave me in the 1960s.

The doll is of hard plastic and I didn't like that.

I haven't played with it often. I loved (and still do) teddy bears. There was no baby doll in my doll carriage, but a teddy bear.

Smile on Saturday.

One Eye.

Someone has been very creative with decorating flowerpots and transferring them into three cheerful little characters. When I walked by and spotted them, it made me smile ;-)))

Happy Wall Wednesday!!

A young Opossum climbs a tree to get away - unlike the the theory they play dead - not this one! It comes complete with drippy nose and all!

Happy Smile on Saturday!

For Smile on Saturday

Laggiù si intravede nella nebbia Santa Maria della Salute (o chiesa della Salute o semplicemente La Salute).

Una basilica di Venezia eretta nell'area della Punta della Dogana, da dove risalta nel panorama del Bacino di San Marco e del Canal Grande. Progettata da Baldassare Longhena con attenzione ai modelli del Palladio, è una delle migliori espressioni dell'architettura barocca veneziana. La sua costruzione rappresenta un ex voto alla Madonna da parte dei veneziani per la liberazione dalla peste che tra il 1630 e il 1631 decimò la popolazione, come era avvenuto in precedenza per la chiesa del Redentore. Il culto divenne così radicato a Venezia che la Vergine Maria venne aggiunta all'elenco dei santi patroni della città di Venezia. Nel dicembre del 1921 papa Benedetto XV l'ha elevata al rango di basilica minore.

We just make one very large loaf each week. Was a bit troublesome to cut, but we soon got that sorted..

Fun for the Smile on Saturday theme 'Composite Images'.

Mis sobrinas siempre están dispuestas a ayudarme con esto de las fotos, aunque suponga ocultar sus preciosos ojos y pedirle cosas tan "raras" como tapar la cara con hojas..

I was out taking pictures with a friend of mine this Autumn and then we happened to stumble upon a wedding coulple as they came out of the church. Of course I snuck up and took some pictures. And she probably saw my lense and felt obligated to smile ;-)

(Yes, I have asked her if it is OK that I post her picture)

Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.

Postman Pat but where is his black and white cat?

This is the fruit of the cotoneaster plant. Not edible by us photographers but essential food for birds as winter approaches.You can see the first signs of this on the leaves already changing colour.

Have a super Saturday SOS fans.

“Come little children

I'll take thee away, into a land

of Enchantment

Come little children

the time's come to play

here in my garden

of Shadows

Follow sweet children

I'll show thee the way

through all the pain and

the Sorrows

Weep not poor childlen

for life is this way

murdering beauty and

Passions

Hush now dear children

it must be this way

to weary of life and

Deceptions

Rest now my children

for soon we'll away

into the calm and

the Quiet

Come little children

I'll take thee away, into a land

of Enchantment

Come little children

the time's come to play

here in my garden

of Shadows
