Kayla talking with her mom...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 3 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Fiona's expression was so cute as she watched Kayla talking on the phone. It's a long way from Denver to Florida, but the phone closes the distance!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

These are two cute little girls, Judy. What a wonderful family you have.

@Viewfinder: Thank you, Glenn; they're truly a blessing.

Barbara from Florida, United States

Sweet girls. I like that they are oblivious to your presence with the camera and you captured their feelings. It shows a relaxed but fun time for two cousins together.

@Barbara: They knew I was there, but they were concentrating on things other than the camera, which was good.
It was fun to have them here together.

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

We find that with our folks five thousand miles away in Western BC. On the phone they sound so crystal clear, as though they are just around the corner. It's always comforting to be in contact so easily these days with free calls that used to cost a fortune and limit the time we spent on the phone.

A really neat shot Judy, lovely expressions

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Yes, phone calls are reasonable now-a-days, thank God, but it can't be compared with putting your arms around a grandchild in person. We're 'only' 1,800 miles away, but it surely isn't around the corner. :(

john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United States

Heavy conversation. And, oh my Judy, you are terribly spoiled! How do you keep from bursting with inner warmth and joy??

@john4jack: We only had a 2.5 day visit with them all together, so we tried to enjoy EVERY MINUTE, "bursting with inner warm and joy!!!"

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Thank Heavens of little girls, I love how you always manage to photograph expressions ;)

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States

That's so cute! We're 500 miles away from the grandparents. I always hated that. I'd have liked it if my kids could have grown up closer to their extended family.

3 Apr 2009 10:53pm

@Bookfool: Thanks ...... these two cousins are 1,800 miles apart and are lucky if they see each other once a year. It's hard. We have two close to us, and then one graduating from college in DC.

Kids are so savvy these days, she's just chatting away there all grown up. This is one for the album..!
