Shutter Love: Pumpkin Love...

The lovely Michelle & her pumpkin :)

This is my friend Michelle with her beautiful daughter Wanai whom she calls 'Pumpkin'. Taking pictures of them was so much fun and it is easy to see why they are officially the E:thos' 'Mother and daughter portrait' of the year!

Michelle is obviously a great mum, the way she plays with, calms and hugs & kisses her bundle of joy makes you want to run out and get 10 of your own in hopes that you can be half as good a mum and contain sufficient 'good genetics' to make them even half as beautiful as little Wani!  Michelle's little pumpkin is so loved up and happy she just makes you want to smile, giggle and gurgle along with her... there is something magical about spending time with them and you cant help but walk away (rather tear yourself away) feeling happy and jolly with a big grin and a broody feeling that could get you into all sorts of trouble! They are the perfect pair and so when I thought of a subject for this post I had to show you them together so you can see why this little pumpkin is so happy...beautiful happy mum makes for a beautiful happy pumpkin :)

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge: Beef!

This delicious looking meal was created by my lovely friend and I must say she spoiled me and had me over for dinner :)

 I love beef made in just about any way so this challenge was a pleasure for me! 

Do also see my post called; Cow...beef...steak...dinner!

Disclaimer: I draw the line at corn beef or any beef in a can; that is so wrong!!!!!

We are travelling in the footsteps

Of those who’ve gone before

But we’ll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)

On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

Oh when the saints go marching in

When the saints go marching in

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine

And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

When the moon turns red with blood

When the moon turns red with blood

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

On that hallelujah day

On that hallelujah day

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

Oh when the trumpet sounds the call

Oh when the trumpet sounds the call

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

Some say this world of trouble

Is the only one we need

But I’m waiting for that morning

When the new world is revealed

When the revelation (revolution) comes

When the revelation (revolution) comes

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

When the rich go out and work

When the rich go out and work

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

When the air is pure and clean

When the air is pure and clean

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

When we all have food to eat

When we all have food to eat

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in

When our leaders learn to cry

When our leaders learn to cry

Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching in
