She looks lovely.

It doesn’t matter when you catch her, she just has a sparkle.

I know plenty of people who can look amazing when they want

But not this one… for her it is just effortless.

This was no ‘model shoot’ with make up and lighting, we were rescuing the neighbours car in the snow…

She had a spade in one hand, a bag of kitter litter in the other

both her ideas… so practical and resourceful…

I think that is part of the sparkle

a sort of knowing that adds to the sweet smile

Part of me just wants to take her inside and wrap her in a warm blanket

even bring her a hot cup of coffee

another part of me wants a snowball fight

her words will always say the first

but that beautiful smile secretly says the 2nd

(she’s still holding a spade so I better not)

she’s smiling again

actually I think she smiles all the time and I just noticed it again…

millions of snowflakes and every one is unique

and somehow out of all of them I’m lucky enough to find my beautiful snowflake

bright eyes and mischievous smile

my beautiful snowflake
