5th November 2013 - 21 today!!

I decided to use a shot I took on Saturday of my great niece Emma as it is her 21st birthday today. Such a beautiful young lady in every way!!

I would like to have a go at fireworks but Finlay has a nervous breakdown every time he hears a firework and he needs to be cuddled and calmed. I am not looking forward to this evening!!

Many thanks for your comments on yesterdays shots - very much appreciated!!

What a beautiful young woman -- and it's a great candid portrait. I like your choice of b&w.

Beautiful and fresh faced. I remember being 2, a great age! Happy birthday to Emma. Poor Finley, we are quite fortunate to live in a hamlet of thatched properties so nobody has fireworks or we would all go up in smoke!
