Sisters, Together and Separately (3 of 5)

            Up till now, my two daughters have been represented by a single Flickr picture each. Given the photos were taken with a half-frame film camera through a zoom lens and not optimally reproduced, I did not expect them to get as much attention as they have in the hyper-sharp digital era. The older child was shown very young, the younger a fair bit older. 

This is one of five shots taken of the same pair on a single memorable day, when one was just under nine, the other around five and a half. I had taken them to see the British steam engine "Flying Scotsman" on its last run through Melbourne during Australia's bicentennial celebration. Afterwards, on a high, we stopped at every playground between the station and home...

For each of them, probably the greatest gift in her life that I have contributed to is the other.

This was an encounter rather than a pose. (Maybe a case of "The sooner I let him take his photo, the sooner I'll get down this slide"!) The panda pullover, knitted for her by her Nanna, has been kept by this daughter for her own offspring. Her hair would have been brushed by her mother before we set out...

(In 'Allowing Dad a Natural Shot', the same child can be seen at a bit under twice the age she was here.)
