My little kikipop looks so much like I did as a little girl, even my mother says so. But it got me thinking about my childhood. I grew up out in the country in a big house with a huge yard... and now I live in a small apartment with no yard in a city.
Box card made and sent to a crafty friend. I am submitting it to CAS-ual Fridays blog challenge CFC1 (http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com) and Lisa's Make-It and Mail-It challenge #2. Once my friend receives it, I will enter it in the May Hero Arts challenge with flowers as a theme. It is hard to tell from the photo but I clear embossed the text stamp on the inside of the box card and used distress ink. I love this box card idea introduced by Shari Caroll!

I saw this light and his look and was lucky enough to grab it in the fleeting moment that he was still. Thinking and feeling, it is all there in his posture,
There's a lot going on in this one. He might be quiet at times, but that's his way of listening.
Yes, he's not smiling at the camera, and it might not be a yearbook portrait, but this one's special to me.
Being a photographer, to me means being present in the moment, always looking for those glimpses into the wonder of each person. It means making the mechanics of taking a photograph second and "seeing" the moment much more important. That, and being able to grab that light quickly.
I am so glad that I got this moment as I saw it unfold.
This was for a family-oriented article about adults improving children's behavior. (why do all of my men have beards?)
