I heart this face!!

So there will be an extra blog post today.  I follow a blog called I heart Faces. http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/

I am new to this whole blogging deal so I had yet to enter a contest.  This week the contest is for the "Best Face Photo".  I choose this picture of Ava because I just love the look on her face.  At the time she wanted to get down off the steps and I kept putting her back and pleading with her to stay seated for just a few more seconds.  I can't even count how many times I have uttered, "just one more shot I promise".  Well this is her game face...I caught it...it is that look of ready or not and her and I both knew that was the last shot of the day because she was about to take off.

I hope to enter more of the contests on the iheartphotography blog.  There are a ton of wonderful photos entered.  Click the link above to check them out.

Day Twelve

So today I was tired of dealing with the crappy indoor lighting and decided to go out and take some pictures of the woods behind the house.  I walked around in the woods for a few minutes taking some random pictures and when I came back in and looked at them all I had to laugh.  The one that caught my eye was one of the two that I snapped before going back into the woods.  Looks like I could have saved myself about 15 minutes in the cold but oh well.

I liked this picture because it shows the cold of the snow on the ground, or at least what is left of it, combined with the heat of the suns rays that is melting the snow away.  I wish I had been able to feel some of that heat when I was out there.

and for fun here it is in Black and White although I prefer the blue skies.
