1 what this picture fails to convey, however, is how preciously tiny your feet really are! I want to bite them. But I won't.

2 If Mandy restrains herself, you can do the same . . .!

3 I thought you were illustrating just how quickly Mandy moves. Or that spot by your right foot. Although it does appear to be too perfectly circular, and since it appears on your shoe--it is most likely lens flare.

4 There is some dispute about that spot. My Mac consultant thinks it is a flaw in the lens. My sister-in-law thinks it is the part of digital photography she calls "the orb effect." She smiles patiently when I tell her that I believe there is a reason having to do with physics, and the way light travels, that explains why there are "orbs" in digital pictures. I believe she believes it is some sort of mystical phenomenon. She likes to take pictures at night and count how many "orbs" there are in any given image (at night, a lot). I tell her that from my camera there is always a "default orb," in that same spot. Perhaps it is a flaw in my lens, but I've grown accustomed to it. I don't mind unless it falls on someone's face, in which case I curse my camera out and then promptly forget the whole thing.

5 BTW, D--do you recognize the socks?

6 HUE d'LUXE, circa 2008, I believe...an unassuming little vintage.

7 I was secretly hoping for a pair of Mary Janes. Oh well.
