Portraits of a . . . Chicken?

     I've stooped to a whole new low!  Portraits of Chickens!  I can't believe it either, but I thought it would be fun to post a few photos of these chickens owned by some friends of ours in rural California.  We had such a fun time!

I Heart Collages - Window Reflections

         This week at "i ♥ faces" the theme is "collage."  I put together these three recent photos of Johnathan.  He was starting to feel cooped up in the house and was looking out at the falling snow in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  We had a nice warm fire going but all he wanted was to go out and play in the snow.

       He didn't get to go out this time but later he went out and had a great time in the snow!

Head on over to the "i heart faces" website to see more "collage" photos!

South America - All the Children of the World

      You know the song, "Jesus loves the little children, All the Children of the World . . ." That is the inspiration for my new series of Flickr photos (from other photographers) called "All the Children of the World." The idea is to collect a photo of one child representing each country in a particular region. Obviously, there are many sub-cultures in every country and the photo I pick may or may not accurately represent the features of the majority of children from that country. It should be interesting to see just how diverse our world is; yet, the Love of Christ goes out to all the world!
      This first series of photos features kids from South America!

Titus Portraits

I had the great privilege of photographing this incredibly cute little two year old.  I shot these at his house where they have almost a large eastern-facing window and glass door which let in tremendous light in their warmly decorated living room.

We had such a great time!
