This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home.


This nursery rhyme is usually counted out on a child's fingers or toes. Thus, popular culture has given the individual digits the personae given in the song. The middle toe can be said to be the piggy who "had roast beef" for example, without counting out the whole song. A foot tickle is usually added during the "Wee...all the way home" section of the last line.

I couldn't help but think of this rhyme when I took this picture on the Lijiang food market.

Just cropped a bit and did the usual sharpnening and adding contrast/frame/text.

I hope you like this.
Enjoy!
Anneke

Hi Anneke,
Very nice capture and an even better note. Well done. Honestly speaking I noticed only the lady in the thumbnail and the title got me rather curious. So very clever title. Tech talk: Great colors, Excellent sharp focus, A brilliant Daily life shot. Congratulations.

Hai Anneke,
Leuke foto, vind het rijmpje erg leuk en kan me voorstellen dat je daaraan moest denken bij het zien van deze varkentjes.
Gr, Jacqueline

Hi Anneke

Sharp picture and good composition.

You know the rhyme??? Amazing! Nice shot, love the play on words! Great people shot here, nice, unposed, a little funny as the piggys are all layed out asleep! HAHA!

Hi Anneke erg mooie opname. Ik hou wel van markt tafreeltjes. Het geeft goed de cultuur weer.

Hi Ennie,
So you was on one of the Lijiang markets as well :)
Nice capture, I love pork chops. Good daily live image. Did you already opened an Ejtaan China Theme?

Hi,

I agree nice play on words.
Good composition of this lifestyle.
Colours and details are great.

The only thing that bothers me in this image is their feet appear to bound .....

Hello Anneke,
An interesting situation, that makes my mind wander...
The piglets, are they for sale; are they ment to be rised or for the barbeque right away; the basket, did she use it to carry the pigs..?
Hehehe, never mind I'm just in a curious state!
Well composed image with very good details!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

Hoi Anneke
All the elements here from what you explain in your note.
A great portrait, so different from the usual! Very creative !

Good morning Anneke

Lovely image again, so interesting that you bring such different images of the way of life you have seen on your travels. What is the woman wearing on her back? I cannot work out of it is some kind of bag or a coat of some sort

TFS regards Helen

Hello Anneke,

Nice daily life scene. I could see the wait on her face to sale those little pigs. Nicely composed. TFS

Vandana

Great shot of daily life, although I can't help but think that those lovely little piggies aren't far off being a lovely barbeque! Good composition and the colours and details are very good.
Thanks for sharing

Good capture -- by the expression on her face, you'd think that she herself was about to be turned into dinner!
Superb colours here once again

Now you have done it Anneke, now I looks at those piggies and see fingers and toes. That tickle must work wonders for children.
Did you finish your digital picture book from this trip - mine did - 100 fantastic shots thanks to TL.
Well you don't need any advise in that department, your pictures are just perfect.
