I wonder if they had just done the "bare baby" shot on the fleece, with one of her offspring?

Or maybe her skirt met with an accident on the way to the photographers.

My imagination works overtime - I will go and get a cold drink!

Romilly:-)

Actually Sharon,

The more I look at it...the more it reminds me of Dougal from "The Magic Roundabout"

Romilly. ;D ;D

It looks like a duh! moment for me, I now see what you mean about her leaning on something.
No Glen, she was a concert pianist, manual labour wasn't her thing.
Arranroots, the picture was taken when she was taken before she was married and had her sprogs.
Romilly, so thats where he came from  ::)

Thanks all

Sharon

Romilly,I too thought "Dougal" as soon as I saw it....and now I can't stop going da da da da da..........in my head.  ;D

Seriously though, I did think it looked more like dogs hairs,and yet the bit under her arm nearest to her body,looks like feathers.  ???
