azalea rêverie

March is the traditional month for azalea viewing in the government house, opened to the public once a year. Azaleas are ramparting plants blooming everywhere in the city in its hues of pink, fuchsia, red and white, almost a cliche... temperanza revels in the overdose of pink...

the inner child found

Psychology and metaphysics(!) consider that everyone has a child within, the " Inner child", a concept used in psychology (jungian & after) to denote a condition that can be linked back to a childhood experience, physical or emotional. Metaphysics even link the condition to the realm of angels...
to me chouchou is angelic... she got her name from the major arcana of the tarot... temperanza

the rainbow garden

A little cloud cloaks us, there flows an irised rain, that does not deter temperanza to walk in her garden...

She delights in cutting a bouquet of lavender sages for her drawing room

Then in surprise she jerks at a miniature house...
reDSC_0027aza.jpg
images of her childhood flash in rainbow colours like a kaleidescope

there comes the birth of petite temperanza
reDSC_0033aza.jpg
born with lavender hair, with sparks in lake blue eyes dancing among the dewdrops on the sages...

to me chou chou is an eskimo doll with icy expressions, to shoot her a warm face, i've got to compensate exposure upto -1 or -1.3. i also had the luxury of using a borrowed tamron af asperical 24-135mm, 50th anniversary special edition no 001600 bought in tokyo, keekee

on temperanza, green wool long coat and skirt with matching top and elegant hat (sugarmag)

post scriptum: rendez-vous chou chou, the cwc fabricated gimmick name, means in french bringing a pet to 'meeting', in that sense of the casual sort like blythe gathering (locally called meeting or MT!) or to a date, probably with presence of others' pets (so really not unlike a blythe gathering!). chou chou got a far more beautiful pronounciation than the commonly heard 'chow chow' here =_=(worse still with falling intonation, when i received a call from the official blythe agent here to fetch chowchow, lol what?...!! some even changed the spelling!!!). it's pronounced flat in 2 identical sounds, something like 'shoe shoe'
