I Heart Faces Photography Week 17 - "Smiles"

I Heart Faces has a photography contest every week, so here is my entry for "Smiles".

Portraits and Pictures from a Nanny and a Teacher

Here are some portraits and pictures of the children that I babysit once in a while as well as some of the students I teach. The majority are of the children I babysit; I see them quite often during the week and they are so obliging.

Lonelys

Here are some lonely photos that I couldn't seem to fit into any category.

New, Strange, and Friendly Faces (part 2 of Azalea Festival Day 1)

Here are few face we saw at the Azalea Festival today (I couldn't decide, when it comes to the picture of the young lady, if I like the black and white best or the the color, so I posted both).

Festival Blooms Day 1

Today was a day for blooms and perfect lighting. Here a few photos from the beautiful Azalea Festival.

Vernon Vairables

Here are some of the flowers that they have growing at Mt. Vernon.

Cold Spring

It was a colder spring than I thought it would be up north. We visited a few friends and while they were praising the warmth and suddenness of their spring, I huddled under my sweater and wondered why such desolation (most of the trees are sticks) was a good thing (though it is still quite beautiful there). Here a few photos from that part of our trip and a friends dog that was just to cute not to photograph.
