Judy's Photoblog
Calling my cousin...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 21 March 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Taken after dinner at the park, Kayla is sitting on a swing, talking to her cousin Quinlin, making plans to see each other the next afternoon. This photo is a good representation of her cheerful personality - a favorite of mine. How her Daddy would love this shot! ... xo

I bet you can see her Daddy in this image too. A beautiful shot and such a lovely child....you must be so proud:-)

@Linerberry: Yes, I can, Liners ... and it's both heartwarming and heartbreaking if you know what I mean.
We love her so, but so wish we didn't live so very far away from her.

she looks like she hasn't a care in the world.....great catch!

@Susan: Well, maybe not "a care in the world," but so missing her Daddy, who died a year ago (3/22). :(
@Eleftheria: She was seven in January, Eleftheria, and is the one whose father died just one year ago.
