    Great, I should have looked at these BEFORE I put my make-up on for the day.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Wow, some historic pictures - and most of them are heartbreaking.

    A nice collection, well done. I like that it was a mix of eras and places, and of course the ending was perfect.

    what about Alfred Eisenstadt's photo of the nurse and sailor in Times Square in 1945

    #20- is the lady in the hat clapping? She looks confused. I love the picture of the firefighter giving water to the koala. And the one of the little boy hearing makes me smile because I love his expression.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    She does look like she is clapping, but uncertain whether she is supposed to or not.

    I love #6, so sad but sweet.

    I agree - I would have thought this would be in the collection. Also the one of the Vietnamese girl - naked and running toward the camera, after being burned by naplom.

    Overall, it was an interesting collection tho...........
