Two beauties

I felt fortunate to capture this moment between our daughter-in-law and our granddaughter. They were reviewing “spy pictures,” as the four-year-old referred to them, of Uncle Nathan, our son. Apparently, Maren convinced her aunt to use her cell phone to photograph our son and her two brothers building a Lego toy. The focused concentration on the polka dotted iPhone, coupled with their relaxed poses, really made this photo pop. The backlit blond hair didn’t hurt either.

“Two beauties” is the Photo of the Week.

Isn’t it great to really capture a moment. Usually an elusive thing, but just once in a while the magic works. Great photo, Bruce. Gail

  Thanks so much, Gail. Indeed, I love those split second moments that last a lifetime. To capture them in a photo brings great satisfaction.
