Foto Friday ~ Favorites

This week is the last Foto Friday for awhile. I will be sad to not participate in it. Rebecca has done a great job in hosting it and I am so glad that I was able to participate. 

The theme for this week is  Four Favorite Photos. This was really hard for me. I have tons of photos that I really like so I chose 2 from past Foto Friday challenges, one current picture form this week and one from a year ago.

This is a picture of Ellie at Deception Pass Beach. I used this photo in the "Reaching" challenge.

This picture of Ellie is from about 1 year ago. It is one of the first picture I took with my 50mm 1.4 lens. I loved how blurred the background became and how captivating Ellie's eyes were.

This picture was taken for the "Spring" Challenge. I really like the composition and muted colors.

I was getting very tired of our constant rain and a few days ago there was a pocket in the day where the rain stopped so I ran outside to see what I could capture. This is what I found.....

I will be attempting to continue to challenge myself each week with varying photography assignments and posting them. These weekly Photo challenges were to much fun to stop doing.

Your little girl's eyes startled me and I let out a little gasp- they are so beautiful!!!
The iris also catches my eye- I love photos of flowers close up
