Today, Claire, Momma and Daddy were able to go to a nearby nature center that specializes in butterflies. While there, we took some new shadow portraits!
And, here’s the one we chose for the blog header! (It’s cropped on the header, but you can click on the above photo to see more detail. Clicking a second time will enlarge it even more.)
You can see Claire (and her baby-doll, Daisy), Momma and Daddy. We were hoping one of the thousands of butterflies would grace our photo with her presence, but it wasn’t meant to be. (And, I’m not good enough in my skills to make it look like one did.)
Butterfly or not, I love it! I love the detail, and the different shadows created by the three of us, the plants below us and the plants above us. I love how it captures our personalities…and you can’t even see our faces.
And, we tried to get more glorious color in the frame, but the sun wasn’t at the right angle yet. We’re all about reality here…so what you see is what you get.
So, here is the new header…until the three of us find something else that strikes our fancy.

That’s a nice shot, particularly with the greenery in it.
Love it! Must be because I also love cut silhouettes. Have you ever had one made of Claire? I have one of my daughter Kate made when she was three and I cherish it.
What an interesting idea — I never thought of taking shadow portraits. You’r right — they do show a lot of personality!
