Day 12: Close-up

Disclaimer for Ten June readers:

My foray into this photography challenge has been a little different than yours.  I have been using a slightly different list.  Also, instead of taking a picture a day and then writing one post per week....I have been doing a post per daily photo assignment.  Which, though has been fun because I can really flesh out each subject...means it's pretty much all I've been blogging about lately!  

So here is my Day 12:  Close-up

And if you are interested...here are links to the rest of my week 8-14:

Day 8:  Technology

Day 9:  Faceless Portrait

Day 10:  Something I Made

Day 11:  Something Fun

Day 13:  From a Distance

Day 14:  Flowers

I took 82 pictures today.  Whittled, narrowed, and trimmed down the lot until I had my top 3.  But then couldn't decide which should be THE ONE, you know? 

 Close-up of Rebekah.  She was asleep on the floor and awoke with dismay to the sound of my camera flash popping up.  But I love her fresh, natural faced look here.

 Close-up of Julianne reading.  I have always loved Julianne's long lashes...ever since she was a little baby.  And I also liked how I got her in sharp focus and the book soft and fuzzy.  This is Bryan's favorite. 

Close-up of Max...having an "adventure" out of his cage.  I was sure this little guy had only hours (at the most) to live a few mornings ago when I found him limp and broken looking on the bottom of his cage.  But he has rallied and is still hanging strong.
