Washed up on the beach.

Cool! Looks kinda like Kermit put on a dyed Miss Piggy wig and decided to end it all.  ;)

Susan appreciates the kudos. (I took a few different versions…she picked the one I processed & posted.)

Another beautiful shot, Keith. And this kid looks as if he's not planning a revolt if you turn your back. Love it.

The Last Dance. I used a 1970s Leitz 100/4 Macro-Elmar via R-to-M adapter. There are two versions of the lens, the first requiring a bellows to focus and then this one with a "normal" helical.

Thanks, Russ, appreciated.

One of the reasons I posted the shot was because I, we, thought there was more than a degree of ambiguity there.

Is he wearing his big sisters hand-me-downs - not only the Barbie t-shirt but also slinky, skinny jeans with bobbles on the zips - or is she sporting a tom-boy haircut. The feet look particularly slim, elegant and feminine.

Either way he, she, is certainly a very beautiful and charming kid.

The nice thing about ambiguity is that it's often a broad kind of spectrum: I see a decidedly male face enjoying the allure of western dolls - a further ambiguity within that, in that he may or may not be aware of the childish/adult references within Ms B to another, quite different type of doll than the cartoon/physical doll pleasure he may or may not think he is sporting.

Sorta like carrying your copy of Hustler onto the tube (not that I imagine anyone here would buy that organ), settling down and holding the issue up to read - assuming, the while, you are not strap-hanging.

India; inscrutable. Like Ms B?

It's a good question, Keith. I can't be sure, of course, but I'd bet that's a boy. I say that because I had four of 'em, and I'm familiar with that expression. On the other hand, since I never had girls it may be that a girl can have the same expression. In any case you really caught him (or her).

Personally I hope he's wearing his big sisters hand-me-downs and doesn't give a damn.

Whatever, bless him!

Philosophical!: and a gentle image to go with it.
Like.

Imagine the philosophy of the day lily: born in the morning, pestered by flies & bees immediately, decaying visibly by the hour, will never know its offspring or even if they'll be any, dead and gone shortly after sundown.  :D

Bless them all, Keith. An awful lot of people in Western societies have absolutely no idea how hard life can be.

Equally, a lot of people in the West know only too well how tough it can be in the West!

What struck me the most about the people we met in India was how dignified, relaxed and stoical they were.

What a contrast then to the people here on LuLa!
