Pretty Little Babushka


Saw this little girl as I was cycling with Anders and Dexter. She reminded me of a little Babushka as she innocently walked along the wall and then sat down waiting for her parents to catch up whilst she looked out to sea. She was timeless and perfect and I couldn't help but smile, slam on the brakes of my bike and snap her picture!





She was just beautiful.

  1. You take good pictures. Thought I was looking at images on Life magazine. I have never heard of Babooshka before, but it's very nice I enjoyed watching it.

  2. I laughed out loud when I read your comment and was really flattered and touched that you thought my photographs were as good as those published in Life magazine, that is indeed such a huge compliment so thank you very much. The song by Kate Bush is one I remember from the 80’s and glad you liked it too. Thank you once again for making my day.

  3. Gorgeous photos! She was the perfect little model, wasn't she? Not only are you a fabulous photographer, but you are also a talented cyclist. I would have killed myself carrying my camera while trying ride my bike. lol

    Love the music choice, too! Perfect! :-)

  10. What a cute little Babushka. Perfect pictures to go with the video. I never heard of Babushka, but enjoyed her song. I am having a fun day today, meeting so many new female vocalists.
