A Mother

 

M is for the miracle of being.

O is for its origin in love.

T is for the tenderness of seeing.

H is for a home no wind can move.

E is for the ecstasy of living.

R is for the recklessness of giving.

 

I wrote in the description of the b/w, that I first took colour to put them at ease, well, here it is.

I knew it was a risk, there might not be a second chance, but this was the camera I was holding, the other in the back of the car...

 

I'd love to know what it is and why, that so often people prefer portraits in b/w.

Personally I like them both, but each for their own different qualities.

I was there, that adds an extra dimension, memories, emotions and excitement.

I love the way that bit of 'femininity' peeps out!

 

My sons and their families are far away from me, I know they love and respect me, but EVERY day is Mother's day, not that just ONE commercial day...

thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?

Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
