On a beautiful autumn day, one cannot help but feel good and pretty inside. Taking photos of the most colourful neighbourhood, a few people had the same idea as me. It was amusing to watch some of them taking a selfie. It was rather a breezy day and I love the way my hair blows with the wind. Smiling with the wind, a couple stopped and talked to me. 
Is your hair real? They asked. As real as they can be, I replied. It’s gorgeous and you look so pretty, they added. Oh thank you, that’s very kind of you to say so, feeling flattered. And off they went. Wow, I wonder if I really look pretty with this white hair. So I took three consecutive shots.
Hmmm… so much for having evidence to show my family that I will be meeting that evening, Adults are so good in teaching the children how to be conceited. We allowed them to use the iPad to take pictures of each other and to say cheese. Should the children start fighting for the gizmo, the adults shouted in unison “No, No, No.”
Say Cheese
I came to the rescue and scolded the adults to be gentle with the children. You guys, there is a better way to speak to the children. Say “stop” instead of “no”. The kids keep on hearing the word “no”, they must think their name is “No”. Allow me to teach the youngest how to say good words since he’s turning into a parrot. Whatever we say, he mimics. I played the naming game with Baby James and he understands “What is your name?” He knows his name is James. I introduced myself that I am Miss Pretty. I said it a couple of times to him. Then I asked Baby James “What is my name?” He responded: Miss Pretty. The adults applauded.
Miss Pretty
From now on, I am Miss Pretty to Baby James.
Photographs and Memories 
😍😍
adorable!
Thank you.
I noticed the wavy white near the edge of the picture. That’s not a selfie. 🙂
You’re quite correct about children learning new things. We, adults, should be more careful with what we tell them.
I just can’t get this selfie right and I captured the top of my head. Laughing. Oh yes, we have to be a good example on the children especially during their formative years.
Loved this!
Thank you.
Hey Miss Pretty! You live in paradise! Beautiful shots. xoxo
I must say, I do. Move over here, Miss P. Thank you.
Gorgeous pictures…funny too. I am one of those in love with selfies:)
I can see your pretty face and what are you eating?
Lovely pictures. Our trees are brown and somewhat bare but before long they will have buds of leaves and flowers. Is your hair really that color? Somehow I imagined you with brown hair.
Fall is bursting with colours in where I live. It just beautiful. My hair is au naturale. Brown skin.
very fun post – and the 3 selfless had me cracking up – nice sense of humor.
🙂
It cracked me up to when I tried it. I can’t do it right. Thank you.
What glorious captures – James is such a cutie – and what a great lesson – “stop” instead of “no”. I did that with our two, even having a new mum joining our play-group and when introduced to me said she already knew me… “aren’t you the ‘stop – electricity’ lady from the doctors?” I was indeed, she went on to say how they’d now adopted that habit with their children!
Electric woman – good on you. Yup, i feel so sorry for the kids being told no all the time. Baby James, too cute for words.
Where we live, we do not get those colors in the fall. Down South, where I am originally from, we do get some of those colors; and in the Southern Ozarks … where I camped back in the day, the colors were a bit more intense, similar to what you have in your pictures. Metaphorically … wow … color, trees, seasons, along with ponderous perpetual questions, “Where am I at? Where have I been? Where am I going?” I am with the Father. I have been through deserts, I have walked among trees with profound / divine colors. And ahead of me? It is good. “Safe? No, He is not safe, but He is good.” I really liked this piece that I connected with, outside the box. Peace, T
I love how you can see beyond words and pictures, T. What a gift you have. How can the Father be not safe? Can you expound this in your post. I tend to think outside the box during Word Press Photo Challenge.
Beautiful shots! 🙂 where did you get these at?
That is at Patterson skytrain station near Central Park. Close to your area.
wow! the things I miss lol 🙂
Now you know. 😛
Going to have to keep an eye out for the return of the tree leaves 😀
I will call you Miss Pretty. 🙂
Awww…. thank you. 😛
