I Wondered ~


and
when I downloaded
the photos
I saw the word
"ducklings"
on the
box
: :
Every child you encounter
is a
divine appointment.

Love the pictures. Love the black & white and that you did not give too much away. The best way to tell a story.

Before I even read your words, I wondered what had her so enthralled that she looked like she might fall in the box.
Ahhh, of course, something soft and enchanting and alive!
You were coy with this one, setting us up nicely. I'm smiling--thank you.
The quote is absolutely true--watching my grandchildren reminds me of that regularly.

Well done! Beautiful quote and photos.

Such sweet photos... and love the words today, Susan! Love the tenderness of that little girl's head with her bonnet on. I often think that, encounters with children are a meeting with the divine. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

"Wonder," such a profound and simple experience all wrapped into one. Very well expressed here in the photo and through your words.

"Children are a divine appointment" is so true...I have had three for seven days and I have learned much from these innocent mouths.......

Great pictures....

How precious! The black and white and the child's posture drew me in. I definitely wondered what she was looking at.
Great as always.

That last image has to be one of my favorites. When enlarged, it is so full of details. I love it.

Do you think this one works for THC conversation challenge? I reckon she's saying something to the ducklings.

Blessings.
