I am back to posting from my trip in Malawi and one
afternoon I was sitting quietly on the veranda and Annika, my granddaughter had
2 little friends over to play. When they
saw I had my camera, albeit at a great distance away, they tried to avoid it at
all cost. So it became a game of ‘cat
and mouse’. I also had fun with a couple
of the shots. See what you think! I am back to showing shots from Jimmy’s
camera that I was using while in Malawi!
Now if looks could kill, I'd be dead!
The long green flowing material is a very old nightie that Annika fell in love with when they were in Northern Ireland visiting me and now it is in Malawi and they are still having fun with it!
Perhaps she is a bride and they are holding the train?
Nope! Well perhaps a Peacock then with its long train.
Thank you for visiting today. This post was certainly different from last week's Zoo animals but tomorrow I will be showing you a bird that lives in Malawi.
Many thanks for all your lovely comments. I appreciate everyone of them.
So precious, these images. Love the natural manner in which your grandchildren play. Do they live in Malawi permanently? What do their parents do there? So many questions. Please forgive me! Greetings, Jo
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely to see all the different effects of these photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun photos. And you had some fun playing with the editing too. I bet they secretly loved being the subjects of photos. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creative effects Margaret. Love the first photo :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great movement and color! Fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of fun creative images you displayed here, loved the movement and the bright colors. Also the kids are cute!
ReplyDeleteThe first image is perfect. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the effect of her red hair and the pink tutu is simply stunning! Among my favorites are one and eight! Very cool effects!
ReplyDeleteLittle girls --and even a little boy---having so much fun!!!!! I used to love to 'dress-up' like that... That is so much fun for little girls... Since I had boys, I didn't get to watch that much when they were little. They were all about trucks/bugs/playing in the mud, etc... ha
ReplyDeleteLooks like you were having fun with the pictures also... Neat.
Hugs,
Betsy
Love all the different treatments! Such fun! I would phoptoshop that box out of the picture of your grand-daughter running in the pink that you have bordered with the same pink. That one is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. The second one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing with the joy of these children and with you, who claims to know nothing about picture editing. You have been busy learning my friend and have done a wonderful job with these children (Your Granddaugher is gorgeous). I love the motion. It so captures her excitement and I can just hear the laughter ringing out as the games progress. What a lovely way to start a day ... Thank you, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteChildren enjoy playing dress up still!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant portraits of these charming children! Using their imagination and laughing in such a natural way; I just love this whole series. And speaking of brilliant, wow that hair!!! Just wonderful. What an amazing place your family lives by the way!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of artistic impression Margaret.
ReplyDeleteWhat imaginations! These photos are so sweet and charming. I love the motion blur in the second shot.
