Today’s photo101 challenge is to capture our idea of ‘bliss’. I was tempted to take a picture of a box of Hotel Chocolat chocolates because obviously that is the most blissful thing I could think of. But I came across this picture of my youngest daughter, M, on a swing in our garden in St Lucia and I love the double meaning. It’s bliss for her, swinging in the garden, mastering something she’s just seen her older sister do. But her little baby chubbiness is also blissful – you forget this stage so quickly, when you’re trying to cope with endless tantrums and fights and mounds of washing…don’t you just want to go and squeeze her?
She’s got it!
I’ve also just noticed her shoes are on the wrong feet!

The shoes are the first thing I noticed 😀
I like your interpretation of the theme.

Thank you – it was only when I had put the picture up that I noticed the shoes. But this was (and still is!) so typical of her. 🙂

A toddler’s round cheeks – blissI love watching kids accomplish new things and feel proud of themselves – that, to me, is also parenting bliss. Good chocolates though, definitely bliss, just another kind…

Thank you! I felt like I was cheating a bit this month putting up an old post but have been struggling for time this week. I started photo 101 last week and was really enjoying it but haven’t managed to participate this week at all.

She looks like she is very pleased with herself. As adults we forget the simple pleasures of soaring on a swing, and more fool us!
