Once upon a time

First of all let me thank you for all the kind messages yesterday concerning my 14th blip anniversary. I very much appreciate them.
The original of today's  photograph of Mistress Talpa was taken in the Autumn of 1970 shortly before we headed off to a new life in Fiji. In those days I was taking my photographs with a Leica 3B camera and developing, enlarging  and printing them myself. Happy memories!  The original portrait was in Black and White but I have "colourised" it for today.
