My sweet baby girl. Practicing portrait shots with 50mm lens... she's my reluctant model. Post processing in Lightroom 2 with GSnowdon's Washed Vintage preset.
Photo 1.365 for the 365@50 Project on Flickr.
Our little rascal, my granddaughter Phoebe, is going through a phase (let's hope it's a just a phase!) where she is constantly making silly faces and doing silly things... she had her mother and I doubled over in laughter the other night at her antics. I always think she looks like she was born in the 1930s... she looks (and acts!) like she could have been a cast member of the Our Gang / Little Rascals films. What a stitch! Here she is sabotaging a photo shoot with her family.

Craving... my daily triple-shot latte... I make one every morning and nothing else will do. Lately I've been craving a really great cupcake, but am holding out for "the one"... I think it's going to take a trip to Cakelove to satisfy this one.

An earthly treasure sits abandoned in the trees. We saw this old Oldsmobile on the way to our destination and returned later to photograph it. We didn't have time to wait for better lighting... the "golden hour" was about 45 minutes away, but we needed to get back on the road and head home. We're planning to return for a late afternoon and early morning shoot sometime soon. It tends to be misty at sunrise in this area and I think this would look gorgeous in the mist if we could catch it that way. (more pix from this site coming soon)]]>
