It's a face I just can't get enough of.

Certainly as beautiful as a perfect rose.

I can certainly see why you enjoy looking at that face all day long... it's gorgeous! I love the fact she works for chocolate. ;-)

Your floral photos are beautiful! Love the roses in b&w. Allows you to see every detail of their beauty.

So excited for you and the other women going to Lisa's workshop. I must say I'm a little... okay a lot jealous! You're going to learn so much and on top of it all meet some really amazing ladies. You definitely can't go wrong with that mix!

Hugs...

CM said...

Wow, great shots, as always! My fav...the color one of her resting her chin on her hand. So contemplative yet adorable!

Lori Lynn said...

Very beautiful shots! You did a great job with the B/W conversions. The tones and contrast are perfect.

The flower pics are lovely too.

Lisa said...

Oh, I sure couldn't pick between the B&W and color ~ both sets are just stunning!

I do the contrast of the bold print D is wearing in the black & white but then....oh gosh, the flower in hair just pops in color!

And she is....of course....beautiful in any setting...in any color....just all the time!

Her face is as lovely as her name. Love seeing her in black and white but the color...now I can't decide!

And the rose pics are breathtaking.

Dita said...

I agree..the BW allows you to see every little detail of that magnificent flower and that gorgeous face. However, the color shots just made me catch my breath. I love that spectacular flower in Dahlia's hair and her dress...black, white and pink......so very appropriate, Mama!

What a beauty she is.....truly!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
