Libby suggested that I should explain this one, as the reality of the situation isn't immediately apparent, but I'd rather not, at least not immediately. Suffice to say that it's a shot of Rhowan, it wasn't posed, and despite appearances to the contrary, she's very much alive and well ;-)

Update: following warwick's comment below, perhaps I should explain ...

Libby and I took Milly, Rhowan, and Harmony to the beach today, and in amongst all the other games they played, they buried each other in the sand. The bow around Rhowan's neck was decorative, as was the seaweed around her waist ( you can't see it in this shot). Anyway, the bottom line is that the reality is somewhat less traumatic than warwick's first impression.
