My Ma

I went to see my Ma today. She is 91 years old having been born in 1912, a few days before the sinking of the Titanic. She loves feeding the birds in particular "Nelly" a Wood Pigeon. They are always called "Nelly" even if there are two or three of them.

I like the use of the existing light from the window (which I assume is what you did). This is a very nice picture! Your "Ma" looks quite good, even at the age of 91! Hopefully it runs in the family and you'll live a long life also. :)

I tried to explain to her about Pbase and she retorted with an account of their fame in the village when they got the first crystal set in 1924. CB

I love this pose, Chris - really captures a lot of your Mom's character. She looks like a wonderful, gentle lady. My Mom is 86 - isn't it amazing to think of what they've witnessed in their lifetimes?? Wow...
