I've always thought that there was something special about this part of our yard. Hopefully you will too.... :)
This series will include my friends, neighbours and customers' children. I have permission to upload them here on AM3.

This is just stunning, Magda. How do you do it?? :) I think I always want to use the adjective "stunning" for all of your photos. You have such a recognizable style all your own and your portraits are just perfect!~
