Posing with the Daffodils...

I have managed to take pictures of my grandchildren sitting amongst the daffodils in my yard every spring ...They really do not like to pose and I don't blame them...so looking at these pictures I realize how kind they were being by putting up with Gigi and her camera...Most of the shots I took by putting my camera on continuous shoot and just holding down the button... See how they have changed over the years....

these are just lovely despite the children's natural resistance to posing...

You obviously know something about photography...

Tracey said...

Kate - I have emailed you...I'm so excited and happy to have won one of your pictures!

Delwyn - Thank you Delwyn!...I do have to bribe them sometimes:)

Tracey - Thanks for stopping by!...and I couldn't agree with you more about being blessed!

Georgia - I went back and labeled the photos better I hope...the first four pics are my grandson and the last two are of my granddaughter...but I agree about that look caught on her face!

oh so sweet!!! i love the first one of Miss E. The expression on her face is just so adorable.

Beautiful shots, delightfully beautiful grandchildren! Love the expression on Miss E's face in the first one. I wish I had thought of doing that. It would be quite a production with 5 of them!

Good idea to press continuous shooting! I'll have to remember that when I get grandbabies. Actually it would work well with chickens . . .

Beautiful children.

Cindy - Thanks for stopping by!...I'm glad you like them:)

Char - It is hard to believe that four years have gone by...I'm not kidding when I say "Time Flies!"

Kamana - The second one of Miss E was very difficult...this was the best of many...no smiles:(

Susan - I don't know if I would even try to capture 5 grandchildren!...Ideally I would have taken one pic with both children in it but that is just about impossible for me...my main challenge!

Ruth - Thanks!... and yes I think continuous shooting would work great with chickens!..although you already have captured them well. I have used it on seagulls in FL..with a little success...
