I don’t usually post family photos and don’t worry I won’t be making a habit of it, but I thought I’d use this challenge to introduce you to my latest grandchild, Isla, who now brings the score to Granddaughters: 4 Grandsons: 2
Pauline of Gypsy Life and Memories are made of this has invited me to join in with this challenge. If you don’t know Pauline (Pommepal) then you are missing a treat. Living in Australia Pauline is always on the move with her lovely Jack by her side.
There are only two rules for this challenge:
- On 5 consecutive days, create a post using either a past or recent photo in B&W.
- Each day invite another blog friend to join in the fun.
Today I would like to nominate Beth Walsh to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.
Beth is a photographer living in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Her photography is mostly nature and wildlife, but occasionally she steps out of her comfort zone. I’d like to see what she can come up with for this challenge. If she has time.
And absolutely wonderful and loving portrait. I don’t think I actually said welcome Isla. Many happy days of babcia-hood to you!
Ah, thanks Meg. We do need to move closer though if we want to see her more regularly.
Isla is beautiful, Jude! All the moreso because she’s yours 💘
Wish she was mine. I always wanted another daughter. Still four granddaughters make up for it.
Gorgeous shot of sweet little Isla. The B&W makes her look so new. 🙂
Nice to see her so young after waiting 8 months to meet Lorenzo. I get so broody though around babies…
Beautiful in monochrome, great catch lights 🙂
Thanks Sue. I think it works because her eyes are open and they contrast with the paler aspects of the image.
And it’s well composed, nicely exposed….
Ahh there she is and looking very alert for two weeks old! Isla is a beautiful name for a beautiful child, many congratulations ❤
Thanks Gilly. I think it is a beautiful name too. Suits her. And I was lucky with this shot – her eyes were open for about 10 seconds!
and you’ve captured a precious memory in that 10 seconds!
You can’t move close to all of them! It’s really thoughtless of them to be so widespread, Jude. 🙂 Does give you the opportunity to travel though.
What a lovely little lady 🙂
Sadly no I can’t Jo! But I can get a little closer so we can do visits in a day trip without the overnight stays. And the couple of months in Australia every year or two 🙂
🙂
She’s beautiful! Congratulations. 🙂
She’s adorable 🙂
Very sweet. Lucky you.
Congratulations Jude. she’s gorgeous.
Thank you ( she takes after her grandma… ) 😮
