Team Up Thursday - Week 19

Theme: Eyes

Claire's choice this week and I have to say I had great fun trying to photograph my children's eyes and only their eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul and I couldn't agree more, I can tell exactly how my children are feeling when I look into their eyes and as they all have stunning big blue eyes it made the subject easy.

What wasn't so easy was not catching that glazed "is this finished yet" look they kept giving me and it was only once I convinced Phillip to practice his "smeyes" that I was successful. Thank heavens for "America's Next Top Model" which is a hit in our house and explains how to smile with your eyes "smeyes"....who says we can't learn from television ;0)


Love Claires use of black and white in this photo - don't this little darlings eyes just pop out, really tells the story, can't help wondering what those eyes will see as she grows up - really lovely capture Claire!

Team Up Thursday - Week 18

Theme: Pairs

I confess to having this idea in mind before suggesting this theme and although my darling littlest was really not happy to oblige, and didn't give me exactly the shot I was after I am kinda happy with my three "pairs" of feet.


Claire's pic is such a clever play on words and I just love love love it - Well done partner you really cracked it this week :0)

Team Up Thursday - Week 17

Theme: Old

When my brilliant partner Claire sent through this weeks theme I had images of beautiful antique furniture or finding some little gem on a boot sale to photograph, I even imagined using some of our fossil hunting photos but then on Sunday I walked into this magnificent 600 year old church and I knew I had my shot.

Once again Claire's shot is fabulous, I love how we both went a little outside the box. Would love to know how long this tree has been standing and what it has "seen", you can see by the wall in the background the age of the property it is standing in. A really fun theme!
