She was sitting in the bathtub with her grandmother (in the background).....soaking their feet after a hard day shopping. Too good a picture to delete just because of the bathtub fixtures - so, I fixed it. Isn't she just the beauty!
Now I can diptych too! Can probably even triptych as my day progresses! Do I feel dumb....or what???
Yes a beauty and when I enlarged it even more so. thanks for the lesson too. We aren't dumb we are forever learning new things. How boring life would be if we already knew it all.
