Wanda08_16_04.jpg

We spent the afternoon up in the mountains just kicking back and relaxing. While walking down an old dirt road the child inside of Wanda couldn't resist these big seed puffs. I have no idea what they are but they are much bigger than dandelions and Wanda calls them Dr Seuss poofs.

I like the star on the girdle, it seems to mimick the flying "poofs" :).
By the way, I just discovered PBase and your PAD. WONDERFUL !!! CONGRATULATIONS !

Now this is the kind of image I enjoy posing for! I am having fun and I don't have to stand or lay in some awkward, twisted pose like is often the case for glamour shots.

Wow, this one's great; a very good "decisive moment."

This is lovely, Bill! A beautiful picture. Wanda, your expression is perfect!

Love the composition.
Perfect exposure as usual.

Kudos Bill.....Great composition and use of depth of field. I love your use of the subject being off center, drawing attention to the action of the shot and her focus in the scene. Also love the use of background. She is bracketed by beauty (flowers) and the blowing seeds are adrift (on a journey down the road). The road not taken! Great, great shot!

of us, looks like she was having fun...enjoy.....

Lou, great minds really do think alike. I love the innocents of the picture of your daughter.
Guest 17-Aug-2004 06:56
Super this picture, it gives me some idea. Congratulation!

Makes me laugh that this puff blowing game attracts children of all ages. :)

Haaaahh, this is a nice shot, but, I have seen this one somewhere before. I think it was here :http://www.pbase.com/image/28440263

In Chinese, this is called Pu (pu:) Gong (goun) Ying (yi:n). Most children love playing this.

Bill and Wanda, you have a wonderful gallery here and I visit it every day. Really great job.

Really nice shot. Would go well framed on your mantle.
Guest 17-Aug-2004 05:20
Wow, what a great portrait, too. I love this! Excellent!
Guest 17-Aug-2004 04:36
That is one giant....whatever those are called!! Very cool!
