Photo Friday : Best of 2006


This photo immediately came to mind - sure there are some that are more technically & esthetically correct, but this one captures the MOMENT. No posing, just subjects absorbed in a childhood activity of collecting leaves (the incredible background doesn't hurt it either!)

It was a fun day - EMOTIONS - brings back wonderful memories.

Innocence: the purity of childhood & the comfort of the thumb !

Photofriday : Destruction

Back to nature - a garbage bin slowly returns to a more natural state.

photo friday : ANGER

photofriday theme : GIRL
I had some real girly girl images, but this one at the beach is this girl's personality. She would live at the beach if she could - even wears a bathing suit on winter days.
