I Heart Faces - Week 43 - Balloons

This week’s theme at I Heart Faces is "Balloons". This is a picture I took of my niece at her 16th birthday. Go to I Heart Faces to see more "balloon" inspired photos.

I Heart Faces - Completely Candid

This week's theme at I Heart Faces is "Completely Candid".

The rules state that all photos entered have to be a spur-of-the-moment, completely candid, non-posed capture.



I ask you, what could possibly be be more candid than catching teenage boys cuddling a puppy?!!?

I just love the look on Brad's face.

I can almost hear his thoughts, "Take my picture and you die!"

I Heart Faces - Week 33 - Nostalgia

The theme for this week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces is “Nostalgia”.



Amanda was always fascinated with our back door and the wild and glorious world she could see through the glass. She loved the flowers, the birds and especially the squirrels that came to eat peanuts I had left on the sill.

This photo's exposure is not the best, but I still love how the afternoon sun bathes her face in a warm glow. And if you look close you can see two different reflections of her face. The obvious one is on the back door, but look above her head and to the right you can see another reflection in the glass door of the curio cabinet.

The picture is nostalgic because on August 29, 2005 the door, garden, animals and even the house were all casualties of Hurricane Katrina. I get a little sentimental every time I look at these old pictures and wistfully wish I could turn back time.
