Comments:
This one always stops me. My initial thought tends to be that her stocky body and mannish face almost make her look like a drag queen, while her dress and hat aren’t in a style that particularly flatter her. But then I realize that standing in the sun, striking a carefree pose in her spring-fresh outfit, she may have never felt lovelier. And somebody with a camera cared enough to capture her as is. So who the hell am I to judge?
” And somebody with a camera cared enough to capture her as is.”
What a lovely thing to say.
Thanks, Mrs. P. 🙂
Or as the well-worn phrase reminds us “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
True, true.
