Hiding behind grandpa's wine glass ...

Posted by
Franz (Baden, Austria) on 28 April 2017 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

My granddaughter Emilia is five years and seven months old today, and as on every 28th of the month I post a picture of her. Here she is 'hiding' behind my wine glass while enjoying a bite of 'lángos', one of her favourite treats. We were sitting at a table at an open-air market in Vienna's old town after visiting what they call the 'largest Easter egg market' in Europe ...

More of this later. For now, Happy Birthday, big mouse!

(I apologise for my absence, but I have had quite a hectic and busy week. Now most things are back to normal and here I am again ... ;-)

thank you for your visits, comments and advice! they're very much appreciated!
