“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”

All good shots but the two boys in “point of view” is really great. I like the colors and composition of that one.

Hi Jude, Glad you enjoyed these, thanks so much. Funny you noticed that- he had just made his necklace and was proud of it. There were many eyes on him in the class (including mine) so it was safe, although you are right about possible hazards. It does remain one of my favorites– I have a whole series of kids playing against that colorful backdrop.
