Description


----
While riding a New Jersey Transit train from Trenton New Jersey to Penn Station (New York City) to attend the Photo Plus Expo last week, this little girl and her grandmother and great aunt (hand in foreground) were on their way for an adventure together in the BIG CITY.
------
They appeared to us to be the ideal family, and the Grandma and Auntie were devoting their full, loving attention to the little girl's needs. Such fun!
-----
The beautiful little girl was wearing lipstick and eye makeup that she had almost certainly applied herself, and in color, she reminded me of the girl in a tragic story in Colorado that has just resurfaced briefly. Hence the black and white seemed to put her in a more wholesome looking light.
