Thursday Challenge—"beautiful"

A sleeping baby is definitely a beautiful thing
(especially when that baby has been fighting sleep).
I thought about this challenge for a while, then
remembered this photo that I took as I 
was holding my pretty little cousin Rebecca 
(who has grown apace and is now a lovely
young lady and a soccer player extraordinaire).

The Weekend in Black and White

Confession:  Last year, I was a bit obsessed with
taking pictures of fat people on the subway.
I've turned over a new leaf and am now searching
for beautiful people to sneak shots of, and this is my
first of 2014.  I've seen this woman on the train
before and I think she's gorgeous—but
I wonder why she always looks melancholy.

Tina's Picstory—"beautiful"

There are so many beautiful things in
nature that I didn't even try to choose from
among them.  As for manmade beauty, this is
somewhere very near the top of my list.
I could stare at him for hours (and have!).

Thursday Challenge: Beautiful

For this photo challenge it wasn't hard for me to choose
what I find beautiful—my daughters, of course!
(The backdrop here is not too shabby, either, so
I wish I could say I took this shot.)
