January 2024 challenge - Family


Recommended Posts

I am honored (honoured) to get to pick this month's challenge subject.  Wanting to be as inclusive as possible, I have selected "Family" as the subject.  I am very open to human and critters family photos.  Just show at least one parent and one offspring.  As usual, you can submit up to three photos and they must be on sale on Alamy.  Here are a few of mine.  You can enter pics up til the end of the month!

 

3 generations of women

Family... People... Hmmm... My weakest skill by far. Anyway, in the spirit of participation, here are my three.

People not needed, animal/insect families are welcome!  Just one parent and one offspring at a minimum.

I wasn't complaining Michael, just feeling sorry for myself 😁 I don't think I will ever have people skills. I admire you.

Ah, so I've seen him before in your pix from the other side of the Irish Sea. The Beatles guy.  You should think about the IoM, Ed, it's relatively handy for you.

Here they are at night. You get a real feeling of them in their pomp.
