Day OneHundred-SeventyTwo


This picture was taken yesterday, but I couldn't resist using it.  There are just so many things I love about this shot, two in particular.
Firstly, Moe is a shy girl, who likes to completely ignore most people when they speak to her.  She also doesn't like to put herself into situations where she isn't very comfortable.  So when she said she wanted to play washers with her cousins and Oma, I was pretty impressed.  And standing next to her 16 year old cousin (who has grown a foot since we last saw him, now standing at 6'4") it was even more impressive!  All their cousins have always been good around the girls, Grant included.  This moment caught between the two of them, to me, just captured all of these emotions.
Secondly, it also brought back memories of me and my cousins.  My siblings and I were the "second round" just like Moe & Cakes.  The closest cousin to me was 5+ years older than myself.  And this is about how I felt whenever we were around them..... A little intimidated and a little in awe.

There is nothing like family.

About Me

My photo
Grad Student. Wife. Mom. An artist, yogi, photographer, graphic designer, former teacher and expat...photography has been part of my life since I can remember. I love the sound of a shutter clicking, travel, lotus flowers, inversions, backyards, an ice cold G&T, a great pair of shoes, and an inspiring read....just to name a few. I truly believe Ewan MacGregor could be my best friend and I was a dancer in my past life....or at least should have been. (And no, I can't dance.) LIFE IS GOOD.
