I was about to post a landscape scene and accidentally clicked on this and thought that the young baby and adoring mother deserved their day in the sun even more! Life is much more fleeting than landscapes and the best time for a parent is when a baby is good, and healthy and responsive and this little one looks just perfect. I worked with an old man a long time ago named Archie Broomhead, a real gentleman who made a big impression. Could they have been related?
