Winter Wonderland?

I live in one of those places that doesn't have much to show when it comes to "Winter Wonderland" which is the theme at I Heart Faces this week. We did have an ice storm a couple of years ago, so I was able to find this picture of my daughter and "The Bumblebee". I've always liked this shot for at least a couple of reasons---it's of my sweet girl and I like the bright pop of yellow and blue against the wintry background. For more wonderful winter photos, head on over to I Heart Faces. Maybe you have one you can share. I'd love to look at them as I sip my iced tea!....

Chasing a Smile

Can you tell this is "Smiles" week at I Heart Faces? I knew I wanted to use this shot as soon as I came across it in my search for an entry. It isn't a close-up of his face, but you can definitely see his smile---and I love that the rolling ball was caught at just the right moment. There are lots more "Smiles" to see at I Heart Faces. I'll bet that you have one of your own that you could share!....

Snickerdoodle

Classic cat pose, I know---I was wishing for something more creative, more illustrative of her personality---she's one of the least graceful cats I've met. She's also not a good jumper, which is a blessing to me---and to the birds I feed on my deck rail!.....Her name came from my pastry chef daughter and my husband and son love her. I think she can be pretty photogenic when she's not chasing shadows and bugs. I'll bet your pet is ready for his/her close-up.too. This is "Pets" week at I Heart Faces., so it's the perfect time to see lots of pet pictures and even share a photo of your own....

Now You See Me....

You CAN see me, can't you? I'm here---reflected in the sunglasses of my beautiful sister! I didn't take this as a self-portrait originally. I was taking a picture of my sister at my nephew's final football game( they won, capturing the state championship) but my husband liked it so much that he thought I should use it for this week's challenge, so here it is....It's Self-Portrait Week at I Heart Faces. Come on over and see how other photographers put themselves into the picture. Put yourself in front of the camera and share it---we'd love to see you!...

Reflecting on the View

The theme at I Heart Faces is actually black and white scenery---don't do much of that, but I did find this. Come on over and share your black and white scenic view with us. We'd love to see it!....

Putting My Face On Paper

It's "Paper" week at I Heart Faces. Some of my favorite pieces of paper are those with pictures printed on them. I've always liked this behind-the-scenes picture, especially the contrast in expressions---and people wonder why I take as many pictures before the performance as I do of the performance!...Head on over to I Heart Faces and show us some of your favorite paper shots....

"Orange " You Proud?

Sorry about the title for the post, but I just couldn't resist. This is "Orange" week at I Heart Faces. I thought about using something from the Harvest Festival, but I figure there will be a ton of adorable fall or Halloween pictures. I wanted something just a little different. Then I remembered this picture. Our ladies' group at church just had a meeting where we all wore special aprons and shared our apron stories. This woman had just created this apron with her grandson that morning, especially for the meeting, and she was truly a proud grandma! And I must confess that I was so intent on getting a good shot of the apron, that I didn't even notice that her left arm is in a truly odd position. Sometimes I just don't see what's right in front of me! Anyway, you can head on over to I Heart Faces and see lots more orange---maybe even toss an orange picture of your own into the mix....
