black and white Wednesday - my best of 2010

I didn't really have anything (I thought) for Black and White Wednesday,
then realized...yes I do.

I decided to choose 12 pictures that I felt were my 'best' of the year.
I'm not quite sure some were my best (photography is so subjective),
maybe some were sentimental favorites.

Grace taken in Jan. 2010 by the window.

I adore her expression as she looked back at me and the way the light falls away from her face.

If I had to pick a favorite for the year, it's the above shot of Grace and her friend.
Two seven year olds and best friends.
I don't have to say much more.


Other than wouldn't it be fun to be that age again...

Spring 2010.
Will as 'Batman' and in character.
Because Batman is one tough guy.
And makes appearances in our house frequently. ;)

Playing.
Grace helping Will, another favorite of mine.

Summer.
Walking on the beach of the Western Caribbean, Mexico.

Will checking out a horse at a nearby apple orchard we visit each Fall.
I loved how you notice the size of the horse compared to little Will.
And Will's face.

A portrait of Will that's all him.
His eyes show so much of who he is,
sweet, funny, loving and a character!

2010 blw 8

Sun flare and haze in black and white.
One of my favorites because I love the way he's looking at her.

2010 blw 9

A candid of Grace looking away.
Taken in the Fall, I was attempting Christmas card pics.
I can see a glimpse of the beautiful young woman she'll be someday.

This is about the 3rd time this one's been on my blog.
Not that it's that outstanding of a picture,
I loved Will's expression as he hugged his sister.
That's why this one made the cut for the Christmas card.

Grace on the train tracks in late Fall.
Equally beautiful in black and white and color.

And the final one shot on one of the last days of November
when some leaves were still on the trees.
My favorite images are of the two of them together.
And I loved their expressions in this one.




Wishing you blessings, health, prosperity and lots of laughter in the New Year!
