I heard Marc clicking so often near me and I had thought that he would have one of those impressive beasts to present here as he was equiped with a big zoom...

Instead he prefered to post the same chihuahua (life sized and in colours), yes of course a cute little creature...
Maybe another day ?

Sorry that I did not have thought to take more photos "souvenirs", I was too captivated by these splendid canines in exotic Liège and also by their masters - certainly next time, I won't forget to snap Marianne and Didier and whoever joins us for you to see them at work as well :))

(Here : Marc, on one of the rare occasions that he was not shooting
- it was a pleasure to meet them all, great fun despite the cold !)

Taken just before the main post that I intend to post soon... With the children remarkably serious !

... In the tool shack half opened to the courtyard, the owner of the house showed me various baskets with strange forms and other traditional items used in the area.

Maybe better to see the context - unfortunately terribly overexposed on the top left.

Here : ... where one can see the same stones as on the outside, but the whole interior of the house is made of wood, specially the upper floors.

=>>> next : the nice stairwell of the same house
... There are 2 rooms on each side of this corridor (mainly sleeping rooms).

... As you can see on both photos... Displays of affection from various members of his family, probably not shown every day with so much evidence and with such smiles !

(I know, the top photo is blurred but fun nonetheless IMO - Please, have a look at the feet of the man, bottom photo !).

>>>>> Adults inventing new games and deliberately avoiding to be serious, while children were amused, but much more quiet :

- on top, the woman was chasing the younger guy who was taking his distance, and

- below, she had catched him and had even succeeded to lift him from the ground.

The destitute old man is on the right, in counter light ; smoke is coming from the various little kitchen, offering mostly grilled fish.

He had first posed for me this way, but even if his costume is impressive, I prefer him a bit less over-dressed.
