We had snow today in North Carolina, not the slushy ice NC usually gets when we have ‘Winter’ storms but real-life fluffy snow. This is a rare occurrence for us here, usually this time of year we are planting in our garden and have flowers already blooming. SO I grabbed some flowers.
It’s not often that I take photos of people. I’m more of a nature, outdoors, strange objects photographer. It’s not that I don’t like taking pictures of people, I just prefer taking candid shots rather than poses and most people are Camera-phobic so they don’t really like me doing that. But I recently went to our family ‘reunion’ (it’s so large we’ll never get the whole family) and as the photographer in the family I am expected of course to take pictures. So I did what I usually do, took some candid shots. Quick, “Hey Look!” shots without giving them time to stop and pose. Obviously there are some that are posed but sometimes you just have to and I have some nieces and nephews who pose as soon as they see the camera. I did do some photo-editing with these as well, again something I rarely do, but I felt like experimenting. I’m not putting as many pictures as usual. I find that less is often more. Majority of these pictures are of my nieces/nephews.
I was recently in Tennessee for the New Years. You may have seen my Grand Opry post but I was also there to visit family. I don’t think my niece was aware that I was snapping these pictures but she was so cute I can’t not share. My sister has 3 cats and 7 kids, she has horses and dogs and ducks and a donkey and a whole bunch of other critters as well. You’ll only see two of the cats and one of her daughters here.
