Susan w/her daughter, nieces & nephew...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 29 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

You may be tiring of these water shots, but when your family lives a distance away, each photo is such a treasure. Tomorrow's is the last one from our family visit (for a little bit). ♥

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.

Well thank you for sharing your family treasures with us Judy; they are definitely each gems in their own right; together they shine.

@Viewfinder: Thank you, Glenn ... that's a 'shining' comment! xx

Barbara from Florida, United States

I see 5 lovely children having a great time!
There hardly appears enough age difference between Susan and Bridget.
This looks like something all of you might want to do again, very soon.

29 Apr 2009 11:59am

@Barbara: Your comment is wonderful ... and if Susan weren't so busy I'd shout, "READ BARB's comment!"
There's a 'mere' 27 years of difference, but it really doesn't stand out that way. :D
The next visit can't come any too soon to please us, but it may be another year. :(

Eleftheria from Athens, Greece

I see they had a happy time! Bridget is a doll!

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States

Did they ever get tired of posing for you? I can't imagine anyone in my family stopping long enough to pose for as many shots as you took!! I love those happy faces. :)

29 Apr 2009 6:27pm

@Bookfool: No, they never did, but you can see the younger ones were less focused! <grin>
I just kept snapping away and I'm not tellin' how many I tossed. :D
