My submission for this week.

I find it easy to get wistful at watching a youngster just starting out on their school journey.  While the fruit vendor looks on thoughtfully, the child’s whole focus is on the apple in his hands.  As young as the boy is, he already knows that the little apple represents something grand to come.

Funny how last week’s theme, which I missed out on, was food, and here I am drawing a fruitstand.

It is always a joy to view the entries.  The gallery is here, winners here.   Runner Up #8 by Klaas Verplancke is a real nostalgic beauty.
