My post...
Blurry or not, I loved this. Such an interesting little statue. I'm always amazed that stone can take on such movement and life.
This is wonderful!
I don't mind the blurriness at all - it's a treasure.
Oh, I love the graininess of the photo; really adds to the move. Very intriguing.
Thanks for stopping by to see my WW photo!
