What a feeling...!

This precious trio stole my heart earlier this year, and if you have a second, click through to their adorabler-than-this-one pictures because you get to see their cherubic faces.  I wanted to focus on their feet for the I Heart Faces challenge; remarkable that I could actually chose just ONE of their pics after having such a hard time narrowing down my submission for this week's challenge. 

Check out their site for hundreds of foot pictures;
I see I'm not alone in my affection for snapping the toesies :).

Tootsie rolls & foot balls (but nothing to do with candy or sports)

{PLEASE ~ Chime in and tell me YOUR favorite!!}

I like to take pictures of feet, prehaps because they tell the story of where you are and what you're doing.  I forgot just how many foot photographs I had taken until until I had reason to scan my archives--this week's I Heart Faces theme is FEET.  I haven't participated in a while because I don't take the most original face pictures, but feet?  Feet are one of my favorite things to photograph.

But I'm in a quandry--I can't decide which one to submit!  Will you tell me your favorite and why?  Your vote will help me narrow the field.

Submitted to I Heart Faces weekly photo challenge, this week asked for "Best Faces in February."  Nancy, my mother-in-law's best friend, was the center piece of this year's Valentine Tea Party invitation.  It might just be my favorite over the past 16 years, so it only seemed natural to wanna double the fun!

My submission for this week's I Heart Faces photo challenge; and I sure did have a hard time choosing! This picture exudes joie de vivre, and I just love the memory of my little niece twirling in circles of bubbles.

I Heart Faces: Smile!

When I saw the theme for this week's I Heart Faces photo challenge--smile--I instantly thought of this little lamb.  She exuded joie de vivre like few people I've encountered before or since.  She's one of the children I met in a Compassion project in Calcutta, and though living in extreme poverty, she found reason to celebrate life.  I'm so glad to have reason to remember (and honor) her now, and a Country that continues to shape who I am.   

Be sure to visit I Heart Faces for more great smiles!

I Heart Faces: B&W Scenic

One of the most scenic beauties I've discovered lies hidden in South Carolina's Lowcountry--Angel Oak.  To be in its presence is to bask in the glory of God.

Believed to be 1,500 years old, the magnificent live oak stretches six stories tall with branches that could shade half a football field.  My three children honor their mama by reluctantly agreeing to let me take their picture...they have no idea they're sitting on hallowed ground.  

This is one of those times you should definitely supersize the picture!

My submission for this week's I Heart Faces photo challenge. Every week I manage to learn something new just from observing others.  Plus, it's fun to see widely diverse interpretation of the weekly theme.  Why don't you join in this week?!

Her face tells a story...

She is one of the nameless faces who pierced heart and pricked conscience during my unforgettable, life-affecting trip to India.  Her shoes matched her sari, a detail intriguing to me; I am certain it was unintentional, but if Life was Fair, her clothing would always match her shoes.

I'm submitting this for my first-ever entry to I Heart Faces, this week's theme photojournalism.  I see a thousand stories in her weary face; oh, how I wish I knew even one!
