2 Photographers 1 Inspiration

For along time now I have wanted to join in with Kristi and Melissa and their photo prompt  ... I use to do to join this prompt sometime ago before I opened my own Etsy shop...

Kristi is one of the reasons I started my shop.. she has for sometime been a source of inspiration to me ... and a great encouragement.

Her work is featured in my daughters room, and that room was decorated around the prints I picked out from her shop .. Lifethroughthelens

So this weeks prompt was your favorite imagine from 2010

This was hard there was so many

In the end I went with a favorite of some of my team mates on Etsy and a favorite of mine... both involving water a favorite activity of both my children

 

Both my children are awesome models and will send hours letting me take their photos as long as its something they enjoy doing... 

Do you have a faviorite Imagine of 2010

if so go join in with Kristi and Melissa

they would love to meet you

The Story Behind The Picture.

I thought I would share with you a story... So if you are sitting comfortable I shall begin.

Summer just gone we noticed a nest had been built in a tree at the side of our house, it was a brand new nest, we had not noticed it before.

 A day went by and I remember looking up in the nest and seeing a bird just sitting in it.

 She looked so peaceful and content as she just stared out to space unaware of the fact that she was in the centre of a photo shoot.

A few more days past by and I remember hearing a very faint chirping sound coming from the tree area as I walked to the car, I looked half expecting to see the super model bird again but there was nothing.

On arriving back from an errand I stepped out of the car and heard the same quiet chirping again...this time as I looked.... there was something peeking its head over the top of the nest. As I looked a bit closers I saw who was making this sound.

There was two tiny baby's just waiting for their mommy to come and feed them

( you can just make out the second birds beak to the left of the photo)

When I look back at these photos I do have to say I find them a little overwhelming,watching new life form and being able to document it, I feel is an honor and a privilege.

Has nature ever allowed you that privilege ?
