As I suspect is true of most parents, about 99% of our family photos are of the children. As a rule, I don't put photos of the children on my blog - not because they're unpleasant to look at or anything, just because of a preference not to. But in a one-off change to that rule, I have chosen the photo below which I absolutely love. It is of my son Max when he was 3.
It was taken at Glenroe Farm. Co. Wicklow in October 2008 around Halloween. We had a lovely day pottering around looking at the animals and listening to a 'witch' telling stories in an enchanted forest. I don't think I even noticed the rainbow in the sky when I took the picture (the little fella was off looking at pigs, which is why he isn't in it!). We were later harrassed by a peacock who seemed rather keen on robbing our crisps and carrot cake, but it was a lovely day nonetheless!
Choosing one favourite photo is too hard, so let's say that this is one of my favourites. I will probably be chastised by the children's nana for selecting one child over the other, but hopefully this makes up for the lack of sentimental birthday message last October?!
I now pass the meme and the challenge onto the following:
Mummy Mania , The Last Of The Mojitos ,The Life and Times of a Househusband , Mammy Diaries , Forty Not Out
Oh lordy! This will be tough :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous (I'm wowing over the composition but won't say so because I don't want to sound like a nerd...)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing and for giving us a peek of one of your children. I feel very very honoured x
What an amazing picture. I love the rainbow, such a great cheeky smile
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! He looks like he's really enjoying himself!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great photo and good timing to get the rainbow in too (even if you didn't realise at the time!)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo. Fab to capture the rainbow in the background x
ReplyDeleteWoah - this one is completely adorable!
ReplyDeleteah..... so many photos, not enough time...(or space). but think i have the winning pic... thanks for the tag - and love your pic (especially the rainbow)..
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutey - looks like you had a fab day x
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult wasn't it but you've chosen a gorgeous pic of Max - he is so cute and, having heard so much about your boys from H, it is lovely to put a face to the name!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great photo, perfect background for such a cheeky smile!
ReplyDeleteWow, this photo is just amazing. And your little boy is darling!! Thanks for sharing. It sounds like a great reminder of an awesome day.

I'm blown away by that photo, Hazel. It's absolutely amazing. Could easily have been taken by a professional photographer.
ReplyDeleteNo rapping of knuckles this time H, for you haven't chosen one child over another just a photo !! Whatever about the composition I would like you all to know that my grandson is much more handsome, cheeky and cute than this photo demonstrates, and this is a totally impartial opinion. The other bundle of fun is equally as adorable but you will have to take my word for that.
