Whimsical little girl with kitten,

How absolutely wonderful were the entries this week. I loved them all and wish you could all be winners. But the voters have chosen three of you, and I will choose my favourite from the gallery for the host’s favourite as well. Congratulations to our winners: 🥇 SrgGrkv @gorkov1956 with an amazing image of a talented young artist. 🥈 di1604 @di1604 with a portrait of a young mischief maker at the bird bath, and joint 🥈 Thordis Alfstein @ThordisAlfstein with his happy little man playing in the rain. I gave all 4’s and 5’s. I loved each and every image that was submitted. Join us for our next no-them children’s challenge next week. I also run other challenges including “Images of Asia: Geisha-free zone”, and my new chatroom “Salmagundi” (a rather pompous word for potpourri) which is a much longer challenge and it the theme will change every week. Please join me there as well.

Cuties 🥰
