I Heart Faces: Black

Black
Click on the photo and then again on the next copy to see a larger version
Here is a shot I took of Youngest in our backyard last night.  
I noticed that at Iheartfaces, the challenge this week was simply "black".  
Youngest just happened to have her "Biker" jacket on while we were raking leaves, 
so I asked her if she would pose for me.

As you can see she wasn't thrilled about my request.  
But with her dark eyes and her steely glare... it works nicely with the leather jacket.
What strikes me about this shot, is that it's as though I'm looking into the future,
since Youngest looks so much older than her almost 9 years.

This is definitely my Sweet Shot for today.
Tomorrow I promise to share the rest of our
impromptu photo shoot that occurred while raking.

Some Harry Potter-esque flying... may, or may not be... involved : )

Update: This photo was chosen as a 
Favourite for the "Black" photo challenge!

  4. hi dana - i love this sweet shot - can't wait to see the rest!

    following the chaos of adjusting to life as a puppy-mom, i'm finally getting myself back out there in blogland, getting caught up with all my favorite folks - how i've missed your blog! just spent a while catching up on the last 3 weeks over here ... loved all the h'ween shots (fab costumes!) and omg those basement lights are to die for (love!) ... but wow was i ever saddened to read about the horrible car accident that took the lives of your eldest's friends - what a tragedy. our town was rocked 2 years ago by a similar tragedy involving a young high school girl who had everything going for her - the only good news is that her life and loss continue to teach us all to "slow down" ... i'm so sorry your daughter had to feel this kind of loss at such a young age ...
