Until she gets the pet dog she presumably so desperately wants, this little girl will continue to very endearingly make do.

      Isn’t it? Not the type of thing you often see on these pages, but I had to photograph her.

      Nearly didn’t say great photo! This happy, little person in the middle of the busy city street is charming.

      I appreciate the human aspect of living in these environs that you always capture. This one is somewhat less gritty than usual. ๐Ÿ™‚

        Haha! Thoroughly enjoy a good pun.

        Cheers! Yes, she made me and the other people passing smile. Very nice to see. And yeah, much less gritty than usual. Always nice to have a change now and again!

    This is so sweet but it actually made me a little sad because my dog just died. It’s all in the eye of the beholder I guess.

      That’s very true. Terribly sorry to hear about your dog. I know how tough that is…

    Probably an omiyage from Nara or Miyajima as it looks like Bambi to me. Apart from the boxy blue car, this photo is really timeless; and optimistic too!
    For a stunning project: You should buy such a toy and ask the elderly, like the hunched-over granny you posted a few weeks ago, to cross the street likewise, now that I would like to see!

      Cheers. Yeah, I like the feel of the photo. An unusually positive vibe.

      Now that really would be something. Get a shot like that and my work would be done!

        Even though I appreciate and prefer spontaneous captures a lot, I would have no problem if it were put together as long as the photographer is clear about it. ๐Ÿ™‚

          That’s a photo I similarly would have no problem being slightly posed. However, what I probably would have a problem with is standing in a busy Tokyo street with a bright orange toy animal in the hope that a hunched over old lady will turn up!

            Yes. You might just end up in a photo blog somewhere!

              Definitely. And it’d definitely be deserved too!
