She is Growing Up Faster Now

Moving forward...so far ahead. Leaving me behind.

It's strange and wonderful to watch your kids growing up.

This was from a hiking fail the other day, but all was not lost. This portion between the trail and the car was pretty gorgeous!

This one is standing on black. She looks so small in this photo it must have given your heart a little twinge. Beautiful light and color

[Jane Anderson]

I love the negative space, showing her freedom in the world--so much to learn and encounter!

[gloria jones]

A sweet, endearing capture that tells a story. I really like the sense of scale, light and shadows.

[Paula W]

Love the scale here, the light and shadows and those wonderful greens!

[Jocasta]

Wonderful shadows - they make Clara look quiet small.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Such a pretty serene looking scene.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Lesley Chisholm]

Lovely shot. I feel the same way, my kids are no longer my babies.

[Maggiemae]

Good that she is independent and will go off on her own - but not too far - yet!

[KWind]

So pretty! Love the setting and composition.

[Cathy Donohoue]

She is growing up. Your children are as lovely in person as in photos.

@jocasta This one is my tween, Emily. She'll be 11 in the fall and starting the 6th grade! She's nearly my size. Crazy stuff. Clara is still small enough to hold which I like:).

[Rachel]

A poignant moment of independence.

[Thom Mitchell]

Beautiful shot. Wonderful "story"…

[Sandra Wilson]

beautiful scene!

[Tony]

Lovely combination of your little girl and those majestic trees.

[David]

A long way to go before she is as old and wise as those trees! Fab shot! Fav
