One Perfect Scene (RRPC)

posted Saturday, 5 April 2008
For this week’s Round Robin Photo Challenge (visit that link if you’re interested in participating & to view other participants), I am starting by breaking the rules. Egads, what a rebel I’ve become! I realize the word “one” was repeated a few times in our assignment so I will not be offended if you want to only look at my first photo.

But I couldn’t choose. I have been going through the winter blues, will-spring-never-arrive?!-blahs, and haven’t taken a lot of photos. Birds and my grandson have been about the only things able to entice my camera out in the last couple of weeks.

What did you say?

I think he has joined me in my exercise routine.  Maybe we can make a work-out video.  I just don't think I'm as flexible as the birds are.

 

spring days

Watch out, I’m in a bad mood!

This one reminds me of a lady I used to take care of.  I worked in a nursing home, and she was the sweetest little lady, always thanking us for caring for her. . . during the day.  But, if you woke her during the night to change her soiled bedding, she had quite a mouth on her.  One of her favorite things to say during those times was, "I'm gonna shit on your head!"  You could never mention these oubursts the next day or it would make her cry.  She didn't remember doing it and I guess if you convinced her that she had, she felt extremely bad.  That was way over 20 years ago and I still laugh at the memories of her Jekyl and Hyde.

MeMaw!

If you have ever tried to capture - in any form of the word - a 2 foot tall child running at 60 miles an hour, zigging and zagging, you will see why I consider that one to be perfect. Just look at his little arms and legs! If you’ve ever been wrapped around a tiny finger you will recognize that perfect expression, that pure joy at seeing someone who makes him happy.

I can NOT believe anyone would even consider breaking the rules. How dare you? **giggle-giggle** Love the photos but especially love those green frog slippers on that precious little one.

I love the photo of your grandson (?) He's ADORABLE and I love his expression. It's perfect in many ways, the best way it evokes emotion. :-) I wish I lived closer to my grandchildren so I could see those kind of experessions. Love this!

Aw, the one of your little grandson is my favorite. Grandchildren are the best.

(Aren't rules made to be broken?) ;-)

Yes, I know about photographing those little ones speeding toward you. You got a rare shot! Birds are a tough subject too. Great shots

Hi Lisa

Now you know me better then that! I love photography, and if you had more then one "perfect" scene happen along, of course it's more then ok to share! :) These are wonderful. I especially like the very first one. Birds make fascinating subjects for the lens. They have a unique way of communicating with we humans. :) You brought me big smiles today.

Always, Carly

I do recognize that perfect expression.

I love your bird photos. I have not been able to capture very many bird photos. However, when a bird does sit stil lfor a photo. I like how they look right at the camera as if to say, "Hi, how are you?"

Love the froggy shoes. My daughter (Squamama) would flip over them, she loves frogs!! I think I got a picture of an osprey this week. I'm going to post it soon, to see if anyone can confirm. Love your bird pictures!!!

Great birds! They've got personality each. The last is my favorite, the look, mid step and the swing of the arms are special. Perfect portrait of a small child.

I wouldn't begrudge you any of those pictures. They're all great! And that's interesting about the lady at night. Reminds me of a discussion I've been having with a few people about telling dreams from reality, and the way the mind works in certain circumstances. Perhaps when she behaved like that, she wasn't really awake?

I loved your bird photo's and the story of the old lady / Jekyl Hyde (sp). I worked in nursing homes for many years, so can totally relate and can just hear her saying it... LOL.

He is BEAUTIFUL! Having a 19 month old around is the primary focus in all my shots being out of focus! Two speeds: fast and blazing fast! :)

Wonderful stories and funny about that lady, sad for her though; I am sure she was devastated by her actions.
