Cute - and I like the shadow of the branches on the fence behind her. Like a spotlight

@PD: Thank you so much! Tara and Paige love playing in our backyard and that's their new hiding spot.... And I love this spot for the great light it gives me when I photograph them! ;)

Taking photographs of children can be enjoyable but difficult sometimes. I've used reference photographs of children for my illustrations and their attention span can be short. My grandchildren are coming over this weekend so I can enjoy this kind of fun. Good action in this photo.

@John: Yes, children are fun to photograph but only if they want to be! ;) My girls are so used to the camera that they ignore me taking photos. This way I can get those wonderful candid shots that I like the most! I hope you enjoy the visit with your grandchildren and are lucky to get some wonderful shots of them. :)
Marion from Cincinnati, United States
Ah, Easter shots! You are right....I am not sure I will get around to those one time :) I would love for you to continue this series after Easter :) Great shot!!!
