“Kids are naturally curious about the world around them.
Everything is fascinating and holds their attention as they explore their new surroundings.
Adults, however, have grown up hearing the words ‘no’, ‘don't do that,’ and ‘quit daydreaming so often,
that they create their own little world, a world with lots of limitations.
What then do most adults teach to their children?
‘No’, ‘don't do that,’ and ‘quit daydreaming.’
So, what can you learn from a child today…?”
― James A. Murphy
Hello Beautiful Second Life!
While the Spring Fair has ended and is long gone, and we won't see it again 'til next year,
the sweet spring child that I had the fortune of meeting there on a beautiful sunny day
remains forever living in these images that I was so lucky to capture...
Please meet ღJenna Ballyhooღ (jenna.langer) from Guatemala.
15 years and 2 months in Second Life.
The day I met our sweet Jenna she was chasing butterflies armed with a butterfly orange net.
The image was so sweet that I couldn't resist but try to capture it with my lens. Unfortunately,
before I was even able to click the button, the net was gone and so was the opportunity to save what
could have been one of my favorite pictures in the blog. Now, this didn't discourage me, since I still
had this beautiful little girl standing there. The picture in my mind was still perfect, net or not.
Cute as a button, Jenna remained standing in the same spot for a good while, giving me the chance to
still capture with my camera all the innocence and sweetness that can only be found in a child,
Holding her yellow teddy bear while blowing bubbles and looking up to the sky with her beautiful big
blue eyes, the moment and the opportunity were perfect to begin clicking away. ;)
Now, with beautiful big eyes like hers and looking at the world with all the innocence of a child,
I am sure she can see all the bright stars in the sky even in the daytime, or see the sun
smiling down at her at night. She can see waves of birds in the sky synchronizing in a beautiful
dancing flight performance. The possibilities are endless when it comes to seeing the world through the
eyes of a child when everything is magical and possible, beautiful and pure.
Now, our little friend here was sweetness all around, from her big blue eyes, messy blonde short
ponytails, her little blue dress, and her yellow teddy bear friend, to her beautiful angelic face.
She truly looked like a beautiful doll, like the ones you like to keep safe in a glass case. Or like the doll
you like to take with you everywhere and get dirty by playing in the mud while having a little tea party.
But the most precious thing about little Jenna was the beauty of her soul, sweet, kind, and friendly.
It was her, that selected the song "Corazon de Nino" for this post...
ღJenna Ballyhooღ (jenna.langer): I like it because at the beginning it's his son laughing
Things you should know about Jenna are that our little friend considers herself "just a little
photographer in Second Life" which I consider simple modesty from her part. She is in fact a great
photographer with a beautiful Flickr stream that you can check out HERE and kindly give her a follow.
She also used to blog on her own LITTLE FRIENDS IN SL blog which is no longer active but is still
open to visit, HERE. There, just like I did, you will find some of the super cutest pictures of her
featuring beautiful children's fashion among other things.
By the way, the beautiful young lady below is our Jenna as an adult.
Then the time arrived when we had to part ways and just as I first saw her chasing butterflies, she left
dancing with the wind and leaving me with a big smile and these beautiful words...
ღJenna Ballyhooღ (jenna.langer): sending hugs!
Lori Novo: Hugs!
ღJenna Ballyhooღ (jenna.langer): <3
Thanks For Reading!
Much love,
