I was drinking coffee this morning - 'wholebean instant' by the way, which is a long way from the real deal - when I remembered I needed a Portrait.
In frantic whirlwind of helta skelta photography I stampeded round the house looking for faces.
I found this one.
I know it's a slight break from the shots I've published in this series, but it's a pretty face that I decided to share.

The "sequel" to Perdido Street Station, one of my absolute favourites, and I'm enjoying it just as much, if not more so.

Gorgeous composition.

Do over! Do over! :)

I would have liked to borrow one of your cats, but didn't think they would hold a little beaver.

I'm glad you liked Scope buddy. And I've always seen you as a good judge of cuteness...
That is a BEAUTIFUL portrait.

Awww thanks. Nobody has asked
Awww thanks. Nobody has asked me about the red feather yet. The answer is I've no idea.
Aw. Very nicely done and it's
Aw. Very nicely done and it's all right to give the beaver a rest once in a while.
He HAS been working hard. I
He HAS been working hard. I did have a more beaveresque picture I could have used, but I'll save that for the outtakes gallery.
ADORABLE!!!! She must capture
ADORABLE!!!! She must capture your heart constantly.
Now that beaver is obviously whispering beaver secrets to her behind that red feather.
Capture constantly? Or break
Capture constantly? Or break constantly? It's hard to say how my heart is.
That girl is so beautiful she
That girl is so beautiful she couldn't possibly be yours. Tell us the truth, the beaver found her in the street and brought her home, didn't he?
Fantastic photo, Mo, the composition is just perfect. Great job. :)
Couldn't possibly be mine? I
Couldn't possibly be mine? I appreciate the fact you haven't seen me but most people say she is a pretty little girl version of me. Basically she's what I would look like if I was a pretty little girl, with her mother's eyes though.I kid. The beaver brought her home.
She's the pretty little girl
She's the pretty little girl version of you? Um, I assumed you were a pretty little girl.. Dude, this changes everything.
Hmm, this has come as a
Hmm, this has come as a surprise. You must have thought I was quite a sophisticated pretty little girl though.
Well yes, I did. But now that
Well yes, I did. But now that I think about it, the references to a beard didn't make a whole lot of sense at the time..

A pretty face indeed. And I
A pretty face indeed. And I see she finally got her little beaver back from an abusive photographer and that the little fellow is now safe and sound.
Abusive photographer? If only
Abusive photographer? If only you knew. After (abusively) photographing the little chap today I found him half-drowned and stained with red felt tip. Not sure who is more abusive ;) I at least give him free health care and dental, not to mention a company car.
What an adorable expression
What an adorable expression your daughter has and you've captured it beautifully. Or is she's just feigning innocence and is actually assisting the beaver in plotting his revenge against you?
Seriously, it is truly a wonderful portrait, and your daughter is such a cutie!
;-)
I believe she and the beaver
I believe she and the beaver are generally plotting against me, despite any adorable expressions designed to feign innocence.
I swear to God I am away from
I swear to God I am away from my Reader list for two days and I come back and you've posted another 17 posts with the little toy beaver. Are you in some alternate universe where the days are shorter?
But this one ... just adorable.
Unfortunately yes, I'm stuck
Unfortunately yes, I'm stuck in an alternate universe with the little beaver. It's really annoying and has messed with my schedule no end.
So the beaver found himself
So the beaver found himself in the clutches of a giant. An adorable one.
Great shot.
Yeah, but the giant did give
Yeah, but the giant did give him the odd kiss on his little beavery head, so he was loving it.

Your wife is lovely, Mo. Far
Your wife is lovely, Mo. Far too young, even illegal, here in America, but I understand that you Europeans have different standards, so I try to remain open-minded.
Okay, seriously. This a really nice photograph, Mo. Your personal best so far, although I agree it's hardly fair to put an adorable child in the frame. How can we not love it?
You're right, it's hardly
You're right, it's hardly fair *cancels scheduled run of baby posts*.
She's beautiful! Good choice
