This weeks theme for the I Heart Faces challenge is *purple*. I envisioned fields of lavender, but seeing as that I live in the Detroit Metro Area of Michigan and not in the hills of Provence France..... I had to work with what I had in my surroundings. While the field of petunias add a nice purple element to the picture, what I love most about the picture is Sophia's sweet little face. This was taken during one of Michigan's icky heat waves, the kind of day where the humidity was so thick mosquitos could literally lay eggs in the air, and let's just say Sophia, being a typical 2 year old, was not so in to me, the camera, or any of my grand ideas for posing her for the *perfect picture*. And so she wandered. And so my camera and I followed. When we got to the purple flowers, you could tell she was drawn to them, and she paused (just long enough) to look at Mom for permission to pick one and so I clicked my shutter. Just once. The moment was gone and we moved on, so quickly I had no time to review my camera to see the results. Later, during editing, this image came up and I sat back and smiled.....I am hoping Sophia's parents love it too...
