Smiles
|
Last Sunday I spent a lot of time looking through our Gallery to choose my favourite for Pic of the Week. It wasn't exactly an onerous task and what shone out of every page were Rafa's smiles. To make up for picking a serious photo last week and to cheer us up in the November gloom (in the northern hemisphere at least) here are some of those smiles. (I was going to run this right up to 2011 but there were so many. For now, I'm just sticking to up until the end of 2007. Look out for more another time.)
