The Village Wedding - 21 - the fearless child


We met Lisa yesterday - being helped by her mother. Here she is, whilst the ceremony was taking place in the church - running away from her father into what seems like a dark hole of the village (in fact simply a covered part of the beautiful old street) - but of course no fear for her, as she probably lives in the village and knows every inch of it. A fearless beauty.

  1. Nice picture. Lisa looks like she'll grow up to be a tigress, fearless and quite lovely.

  3. Lovely! Little girls are often in a hurry to left the nest, when little boys would want to stay at home... It is not a rule but I often note this through my work with children.

  4. Some kids don't seem to fear getting lost or losing their parents. I've always wondered how far they would go on their own before turning back if the parents were'nt running behind them all the time...

  7. Nathalie,

    I don't think the cool guy even noticed me. He was occupied with his telephone call and of course my new camera, with it's 18 X zoom enables me to snap a shot more discreetly.

  12. I wish our children here were more like her. Filipino parents tend to over-protect their children. A view like that—a very young child running off without someone holding her hand—is almost unheard of.

    Lovely shot, Jilly. Made me sentimental for some reason.
