My Mum

I went to Bolton today to visit my Mum and also coincide with Mothers Day.

I took some shopping with me, took her shopping and we went out for lunch.

I asked her if she wanted to be part of my 365 project (she reads my 365 and looks at my 365 friends pictures too)

She combed her hair and I got her to stand just outside the back door while i took a few pictures on my Sony Alpha 6000

My mum is 85 years old.

Your Mum looks awesome! Mother's Day for you is sooner than ours. Maybe you should celebrate her twice.

@cdonohoue thanks Cathy :) , for your kind words :)

Hello Mrs Howcroft. Nice to see you. Sounds like you had a nice Mother's Day.
Great shot Phil. Your mum looks lovely.

[Hazel]

Fav for a lovely shot of your mum for Mother's Day, Phil. And now I can see where you 'inherited' your lovely smile from! I think you have captured her beautifully.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A beautiful portrait of a lovely lady with a genuine smile . I can see the likeness Phil ! Sounds as you had a lovely Mother's day

[Dione Giorgio]

God bless her, Phil. She has the same lovely smile as you have. This shot of her is great and thanks for sharing. My dad lived to reach 96; my mum left us a few years before him. Treasure yours while she is with you. Fav for your portrait.

I'm so glad to see this ...you always do such "loving" and respectful portraits..you always have such good exposure on the face and such beautiful catchlight....

Looking anazing, happy Mother's Day 😃💜

@denidouble thanks Deni :)

@granagringa thank you for your kind words , catchlights are done by asking the sitter to look towards a bright area / source

She has a great haircut which suits her face. Well done Mum - for looking so good at 85!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Aww, how lovely! I can see you in that sweet smile of your Mum's, Phil.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Pat Knowles]

Wow Phil, your mum looks nowhere near that age! I wouldn't have put her a day over seventy! Good genes but I also think that you have a very boyish face! Taken after mum! Good on her being part of your progect!
