Autumn - the Blessing


Yesterday afternoon I hoped to photograph the Blessing of the Animals in Menton, but instead I found this adorable bundle playing with pebbles on the beach - and her name is Blessing. Isn't that a beautiful name?

She's 22 months old and lives, with her equally good-looking mother, in Latte, which is just across the border in Italy.

  4. What a doll and what a strange coincidence. I wonder if she'll thank her mother for her name when she's a teenager..

  14. I like names that have meaning in modern languages. There was a time when the names we bear had straightforward meanings as well. She suits hers perfectly.
