Amber lashes on handmade paper

relaxation in it's purest form ..... innocence at rest

Photofriday : COUNTRY

Through the old chicken coop window (now where sweet kittens claim their home) on my mothers' homestead.
This farm is one of my favourite places on earth - it has history, family, fresh air (well - depends where you stand), decay & lots of new life.

The Blues
After a fight between siblings, I grabbed my camera to take a photo of a very upset teary-eyed face. To my disappointment I forgot to readjust my WB & it turned out all blue. Before erasing it on the camera, I remembered this week's photofriday challenge theme of 'blue'. How appropriate!

(This image breaks my heart!)

photofriday theme: blessing (s)

My 2 delightful daughters - on my youngest's special Baptism day.
Another blessing is that my mother actually handmade the gorgeous gown (complete with embroidery & beading.) A true work of art - a blessing to have a talented & loving grammy for them.

Photo Friday theme: HEAT

Nothing combats the heat of a scorching summer day better than jumping in cold water .... even better when you are wearing your street clothing ! (& with your beloved big sister.)

Photofriday theme: SELF
- a bit on the high side ! All in fun.

Photo Friday theme: SKY

Probably lots of interesting sunsets & sunrises for this theme. This one may stand out due to the framing by the trees .... oh, & of course, the interesting cloud formation doesn't hurt!

:)

Photo Friday theme: PEACEFUL

Photofriday theme : SISTERS

This is taken from the Christmas card that we made & gave out.

*THEY wanted to be angels,
*THEY decided what to wear (colour was removed later),
*THEY helped choose the image & OK the final version,
*THEY chose the colours of the stars (cropped out here) &
*THEY assisted in picking the font.

The card turned out beautiful, mostly because it was a group effort & seeing it brings back wonderful memories!

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.

Photo Friday theme: ALONE

After the party guests left, what remained was an emotional 4 year old left all alone.
