The Little Girl Lost

A girl without freckles is like a night without stars.
-- Author Unknown


A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. she can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
-- Alan Beck



I couldn't find the words so I turned to the experts known and unknown. :)
So titled because when I look at these photos I see both a little girl not much more than a toddler and a girl growing up way too fast.
