Great Photo! I can hear him sing: C'est à boire, à boire, à boire. C'est à boire qu'il me faut!...which translates: "I'm thirsty. Come on. Give me a drink!"
:) As almost every second comment one can read in the so-called blogosphere is a superlative such as Excellent! - Oh my, that is absolutely gorgeous. - Amazing. - Stunning!! - Gosh, that's soooo cute! etc. etc., it's not easy to praise f.e. a photograph that is reallyextraordinary / special. :) So what can I say / write to make a difference? Oh well, what about this one? Certainly not the worst picture you took so far, Jams. Chapeau!
