or
look like the most beautiful person his eyes will ever see
~
this mama and her little boy were sitting on the porch of a little place we eat lunch at on the weekends. i couldn't help but move myself in such a way to shoot out the window at the two of them, praying that i'd capture the magical love they shared. it was tangible, that love and his eyes, along with her gentleness took my breath my away.

is having a little love affair contest of her own
which involves these six words
"just sit there and look pretty"
and
this photo
was the one i picked out of my "busting at the seams" file
that seemed most appropriate

Hi, I have been doing some catch up on your blog and love everything I saw. Especially the nuts in the bowl, the pink truck and the look on the little boys face in the photo above.(sigh) Your photography inspires me so much.
ReplyDeleteoh you caught in such a dreamy way..the window was the perfect "filter"
ReplyDeleteAMAAAAAZZZZZING!!!!!

ReplyDeleteYou captured it all. His eyes and his smile, the light just right. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeth, this really touches me. After spending a week with my brand new grandson, I'm feeling as soft and tenuous as your dreamlike image.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Beth. As always...
