Pink


 
When Cat decided on pink for this weeks theme I was delighted.  My littlest is a pinkaholic so I knew there would be no shortage of subject matter.  Then I went of my photo course and all my ideas went out the window.  I then had visions of a stunning pink karoo sunset - which my teacher agreed with.  But then we did some portrait shots in the location and I came home with this shot and loved it.  Granted there is only a dash of pink, but the I love the expression on her face (Anelma was her name) and the soft morning light.  She loved posing for us and I felt that her face was so full of character. She has the most beautiful smiley eyes and laughter lines and is a beautiful woman inside and out.  I feel honoured that she allowed us into her home and to capture her and her family as we did
Mine:
I chose pink from the lovely cloud reflections on Shayne's picture last week. This is the latest tutu I made, with the picture taken when the early morning sun hit it as it was lying on the dining room table very early Saturday morning. I immediately thought the light was great and only later realized that I had my "pink" picture
 
I have to say that Shayne's picture is excellent. Absolutely excellent.  My favorite of hers thus far.
For some more team-ups:

  1. Oh Cat, thank you for the compliment. I have to say I love mine too!

    But yours tugs at my heartstrings too - had I not been away taking photo's mine would have been very similar to yours.

    Aren't we lucky we have little girls in our lives to 'pink' things up somewhat?
