Adorable shot, Cardinal.. It just touched me..
Thanks! I agree: it’s touching.
Halo gives her away.
Very touching, really!
I had to look at this photo many times to take in all of it- her expression, her hands, that she is carrying a bag on a pole- the smile- amazing capture- beautiful
Inside the bag there was a newborn baby. Maximum two weeks old. (if I remember correctly).
oh my- amazing
That’s great!
Have a nice day!

Thanks Gil Zetbase. Did you change your name to Angela Donava now? Did you change you sex too?
Life is so tough . . . . what a great shot Cardinal.
It sure is. Pretty much for most of us I think (beggar or king, life doesn’t discriminate when it comes to handing out hard blows).
The first one says so much of the struggle, yet she was smiling…
Thanks. The second one is just a little widget thing to show that this is my entry for WPC. (I should probably make it smaller).
The second one is awesome!
She may be a beggar, but it does not show on her face.
Thank you Paula. I’ll visit your blog tomorrow. This weekend has been insane & insanely hectic (I’ll update you in an email after the weekend).
OK, Max.
I agree. She doesn’t look worn out or anything like that. Perhaps she’s one of those “beggars with a home and a decent paid beggar job”?
I wonder if she’s still begging?
I wonder what became of her child?
She’s probably still begging and most likely her child is too.
Well done
Probably you’ll enjoy participate to my week challenge :
