A little sunshine....

My girls wanted some pics taken with the cherry blossoms. I figured the only way to do it was either stick them in the tree or lay down flat an look up. Well... we tried both ways and while I was on my back.... I caught me some sunshine.... :)

...and Haley is actually in the tree for this one... and she's TICKED at me for making her stay there while I took the pic. She really wasn't that high up, but she was scared and wanted down.. I know... Mean Mommy!

These pictures really show how much your daughters look alike. I haven't really seen that before! Great sun! :)

I love the angles and the backlighting. The third one is my absolute favorite :)

Sara said...

LOL, mean Mommy! In about fifteen years, I'll start a group for the children of the POTDer's...
the third one is my favorite- their expressions, the lighting, the comp are all lovely.

I was just wondering where you were, so I'm thrilled to see you today:)

I think the angle makes #3 stand out for me. I don't think I'm as crazy about the angle in #2, but they are kids so who cares? Cute girls and they do resemble eachother. I'm still waiting to see a side by side of you and Bella...hmmmmmm?

Jan said...

You rocked it in number 3!! I love that one. Your daughter will thank you some day for having loads of pictures of her...unless you are like me and never actually print them. LOL
