Island life

2007.07.08

I heard there was a princess on Ward's Island who lived in a huge castle. I heard she had eyes as big as saucers and as blue as the sky. I took the ferry boat to go see for myself.

The castle turned out to be a little smaller then I expected.

But her eyes WERE as big as saucers and as blue as the sky, and she had many treasures.

She has serious things to contemplate. Princess life is more challenging then you might imagine.

What would an island kingdom be without a croquet association?

Bay street held at bay.

After walking on this beach, I joined the princess and her court for a fine breakfast and some play, and then I remembered my hungry cats at home.

The water reminds me of princess eyes.

#2 is fantastic!!!

Love the story. JG... you never cease to amaze me.

That's way cool Julia, nice job, loved the story, my granddaughter did too, she's very much into Princesses. :) Sometimes pictrures themselves tell the story, but when you added the lines, filled in the blanks, then they showed what the eyes using the camera was seeing. Again, i thought it all was very lovely, and YES, she had huge eyes, like the oceans. :)

Another world in a city that has so many. Wonderful.

That is one seriously beautiful kid. And a seriously beautiful photo essay. You have saved me the time and cost of going to the island! Now I can stay inside and read thrillers! (Ha ha.)

haha, the eyes are so amazing. almost didn't notice, but it seems like she's given herself a haircut recently! i love it when little kids do that. (probably because i've never had kids myself)
