It's been a long time since I've entered any picture on one of my favorite blogs. Though I've been silent - I have learned so much from this site. Some amazing photographers from all levels share their gifts and secrets and I really want to thank them for sharing so generously.
So, when I read that their theme this month was Black and White - well........how could I resist!

I've posted other pics from this Pink Fluffy photo shoot with my girlies here but I really like how pink feathers show such interesting contrast in black and white.
Do hop over to see more Black and White Photography at the Mamarazzi blog all month long.
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!
