Taken today, August 19th, on a rainy afternoon in Vermont and in a sadly neglected corner of my garden.
Cheers, everyone.
I look forward to seeing the other contributions!

Ah, so sweet! I love how it's nestled in, right where it should be. I imagine fairies landing on those shoulders reading along. I like that the lighting is subdued. Fits the subject. I think 'neglected' is probably my favorite part of gardens.

I love seeing this peak into your world. Did you know ahead of time that you were going to photograph this statue for the group 'World Photography Day'? Or did it surprise you?

And I didn't know you were in Vermont. I'm in Oregon. Yours is a lovely state.

Thanks so much! This little statue was a present to my mother years ago. I bought it for her as a copy of a small bisque statues she has of this little girl (and a boy) - based on the original statues in (I think) the Louvre. Anyway, now she lives with us and so the little statue is in our garden!
Vermont winters mean we have to haul her in every November, though.
In planning for my photo contribution, I actually went out and took many shots in my garden - and then discovered it was August 18th not the 19th! haha.
But it was actually helpful because I decided she was what I wanted to shoot.so went out again the next day and captured her in the rain.
I've never visited Oregon but the weather and gardens are so appealing to me - having grown up in England.
Many thanks for all you do for Ipernity, Laura. This was a really fun idea, and it was cool to see many photographers that were not on my radar!
