I'm trying something new here, linking to a blog called The Gallery which I found through another Cyprus blog, Emma's A Matter of Choice. So The Little White Donkey will continue to chronicle the ups and downs of Family Life in Rural Cyprus (as it says in my header), but will also be navigating other photographic routes as well...
The Gallery's prompt this week was Black & White...
***
Yioti, my friend's son, had his fifth birthday party thirteen years ago, and his mother made him a number cake -- chocolate, with smarties. Yioti's older brother is looking on in the snake t-shirt, and the little girl in the middle is my daughter. The lady at the side is another friend.
How time passes -- how things remain the same! Sophia is planning to go to England for her A-Level studies next year. Yioti came by for a meal last night during a brief break in his mandatory Army service, Stelios was here over the weekend -- also on a break from the Army. Six months ago, my middle son celebrated his 11th birthday, and the same characters were in shot -- but it wasn't a black and white picture, so we'll have to wait for a new prompt to see that one!
It's amazing how quickly time passes isn't it! I'm glad I inspired you to join the Gallery, I really enjoy it, it's a great excuse to look through old photos, I love deciding which ones fit the prompt!
