I wish that I could figure out a way to put the description of my posts BEFORE the photos....which would make MUCH more sense..... but I can't seem to figure this out ! - so sorry about that !


Anyway...

I came up with a new idea for a photography "series" that will be ongoing throughout the next little while on the blog. As you have probably already noticed, this first "installment" was focused on HANDS ! On our walk today I had this focus in mind & tried to encourage Will & Charlotte to "feel" & "touch" everything that they felt compelled to (such as rocks, trees, plants, etc.) We discussed words that we could use to describe all of the things that we felt (highlighted in yellow) It was really interesting to see what sort of things they came up with on their own before I suggested different adjectives ! Their vocabulary is growing each day:) I had a LOT of fun taking pictures of their adorable little hands - and I look forward to adding to this series in the future !!! (some ideas I had were - feet - eyes - facial expressions - actions, etc)
