She's Got Legs

My Best Shot Monday is an ode to my tiny dancer. This photo captures her as the rogue ballerina that she truly is. Part princess, part tomboy, 100% herself.



The vibrant color she brings to our family takes my breath away; sometimes leaving me exhausted, sometimes leaving me simply overwhelmed with gratitude.

Do you have something to share that makes your heart skip a beat?

Hey Mamas, Shutter Sisters is co-sponsoring another Mama Focus Contest just in time for Mother's Day. Be sure to visit Shutter Sisters on Tuesday (whoops, I meant Wednesday) for the scoop. Or if you're too eager to wait, just visit Mamazine right now for all the details.

Had to fix a typo, can't stand those.

We just got back from a weekend in Mexico. The images I saw made my heart skip a beat, but not necessarily in a good way.

Tracey, what a great way to paint a picture with words "the vibrant color she brings to our family takes my breath away..." Awesome.

Those legs do look like they can dance!

My heart did skip a beat with my BSM:

Rogue ballerina indeed! I love the perspective!

Here's my shot from last week. The apple tree in bloom was breathtaking, but my son's reaction was even better!

Rose said...

I love her little legs! What a great picture! I stopped by last night and then was inspired to add to my post a picture I took of Harrison's little legs at the zoo on Thursday.

Here's mine.

Vered said...

Tracey: I returned from Mexico yesterday, so absorbed in what I saw there, and so anxious to tell everyone about it, that I completely forgot to say how I like your image!

I often complain that the blogging world is a place where everyone talks and no one listens. I guess I just proved my own point. (Blush).

Anyway, love your photo. It's adorable. And also, thank you for Best Shot Monday! I'm normally a words-person, not so much into images, but this inspires me to look at the world with different eyes. Sometimes, a picture IS worth a thousand words.

Here's my unconventional BSM this week, my photo shoot at Real Simple!

My picture this week isn't a technically breathtaking shot, but it does show one of the best things about where we live.

Colleen @AMadisonMom said...
