Actually, it's this wonderful daughter-in-law's birthday today, last Saturday and will be next weekend as well. She'll only be one year older, though -- careful now...

I don't have the pictures from the recent visit in Maberly developed yet and I never did have baby pictures of Tyla (hint, hint?). In place of these, I am sharing a favourite shot I took during a visit a few years ago.

For your viewing (but not using otherwise without permission from myself --- AHEM ---) pleasure and to mark this day as a special one, here is Princess Tyla.



[ Ed: I must say, this is the best picture I've seen yet in which the subject's eyes are closed -- even if I did take it myself. ]
