OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Last week I posted a photo titled ‘Let’s Imagine’, I enjoyed so much the conversation it generated that I decided to once in a while post more photos like that.
Meet Mariana, my adorable niece. Her eyes talk to me. Do they talk to you? And what do they tell you?
PS: BadFish, now it is your turn.
She has beautiful eyes, Lucile. They tell me she is a strong woman and knows what she wants. But she is also a blast to be with and can make you laugh in a heartbeat–my kind of friend!
I’ll ask her to read all comments, Lois. She will enjoy this.
She’s someone who knows what she wants and goes for it. Her heart is gigantic too. Her smile is soul soothing. You’d like her.
Lovely, contemplative photo, Lucile. Beautiful work.
Thank you Britta!
Her portrait seems to say: exuberance for life. Well captured.
Thank you, Sally. I’m enjoying reading the different comments and perspectives.
Lovely portrait of your niece. She has wisdom, humour and a touch of mischief in her eyes. I bet she is wonderful company!
Hi Sue, she’s wonderful company, indeed. She’d say that her 7 y/o daughter is wiser, but apples don’t fall far from trees, isn’t it?
I’m smiling at your comment; thinking how many of us would say the same about our children. I often think my boy-child is a distillation of the best of his father and me (only with an untidiness streak he doesn’t get from either of us). 🙂
I’m totally partial about my niece. She lived a few years with us when her mother (my sister) divorced and came back to live for a while with my parents.
Maybe the untidiness is with every kid for a few years, until they live alone. I’m sure he’s a great kid if he got the best of you both. 😀
That could be tested quite soon; he’s feeling that it is time to leave home.
Are you prepared for that? 😉
Hm! I think so. He has always been very independent. It’s also quite timely as we are hoping to sell our house and move out of the city. My son’s job and friends are here, while his father and I are ready for new challenges. We would stay longer in town if that’s what our son wants, but he seems very keen to spread his wings. It’s an interesting time for all of us.
That’s good to be ready for that and creates the best conditions to start a new life style. I remember you mentioned before that you would move out of town.
It’s very exciting times! Wish you all the best.
Thank you Lucile. I’m so ready to move on, but until my partner finishes the project he’s working on that keeps him in Melbourne most weeks, progress is pretty slow.
You’re welcome, Su. Oh well, then go and spend some time in Melbourne as well. There are a few bloggers there that maybe are common to us!
Melbourne is one of the best places I’ve ever been to and I’m happy to go there anytime 😃
I haven’t been there, and only know Sydney. But Desleyjane posts and photos of Melbourne ate making me curious.
I never used to like Sydney much, but spent a week there last year and somehow feel like I discovered the city’s vibe. Melbourne will always be special to me though because so many friends live there. I’d love to catch up with Desley Jane sometime. I have ‘t been very good about trying go meet up with blogging whanau in “real life”.
In fact I have been there for a business trip and had one day free to see the city. Not enough. I want to go back to Australia and also NZ.
A beautiful girl and photo. There is an ease about her expression. She seems comfortable with you, and with who she is.
Spot on, Lisa. It describes her very well. Thank you.
She knows something we don’t… reminds me a bit of the Mona Lisa.
Wow, she needs to read your comment. I haven’t thought about that but my husband had said the same about Mona Lisa. Thank you!
What a beautiful girl. She looks like someone who considers all things. She looks like she’s measuring you. Love it.
Thank you, DJ. Yes she does. Measuring me? Guess not. She’s comfortable with being clicked as I do that since she was born. We have a great connection.

Stunning photograph! I would have to agree with the previous comments, particularly the Mona Lisa smile.
Thanks, Terri. How interesting that you also thought of the Mona Lisa. I hope this photo would become as famous, so I’ll stop working and become a billionaire!! Hahaha Ok, I’m back to normal. Just kidding. 😉
I see confidence, forthrightness, and kindness. Wonderful photo, and I love the Let’s Imagine theme !
I seem to have lost track of you for a while, but I think I’m properly subscribed now 🙂
Welcome back, Terry. It’s a joy to have you here. You got the confidence and kindness right on.
I loved the Let’s imagine post and particularly the comments.
Thank you!
You’re welcome and thank you 🙂
😀
Oh, poop! I’m a little late to the party, but here goes my imagining what this young woman is thinking behind those eyes: “I think the next time Aunt Lucile stops by to photograph me, I’m going to remember where I put my red panties. Where are those things?”
Hahaha Bad bad bad man. You’re da bad man! And makes me giggle like crazy here. What else can I say? I’m curious to read the reactions to your comments. You’re BadFreudFish!
why whatever do you mean??
I forgot already! 😉 that’s the advantage of replying to comments a few days later!
yeah…there’s good and bad in everything!
Otherwise we get bored.
Priceless, isn’t he? (BF) I was thinking this even before I saw his comment. 🙂 🙂
A lady who’s happy with what she has and where she’s going, Lucile? Lovely smile!
He’s indeed, Jo! Unbeatable.
But so you thought the same….how interesting.
As to the lady…she’s happy with she has. True. And very sure of where she’s heading to.
Her smile is priceless.
Thank you!
I think she is wondering ‘Who Is This Mr Badfish. So intriguing’.
Beautiful portrait Lucile! Gorgeous model.
Haha she may ask that! Thanks Lisa.
She loks happy, and like she cares a lot about whoever she’s looking at. I think she’s a beautiful woman. 🙂
Hi Phoenix! Yes, she does and it’s mutual. Thanks for visiting. I’ve been super failing to blog, read and comment. Apologies.
Don’t worry about it. I just enjoy seeing your photos when you post them. 🙂
Thank you so much! You’re very sweet. I’m humbled by your comment.
You’re very welcome. ☺
