Julie's Photos

My niece Julie is the most amazing photographer, and she loves to get creative!  When she came home for her grandmother's funeral she took some photos of all the family......and then promptly went home and had too much fun!

I LOVE this photo of me, I think the Gatsby era would have suited me.  I gave Julie her first book as a present, when she was around eight or nine.  She told me years later, she was so mad because I had given her a book for her birthday, and her mom MADE her read it.  It's funny because today, she loves to read.

It is always fun to see ourselves through someone else's eyes.  Julie sees me as that wild wacky aunt who is fearless.
I see Julie as this incredibly beautiful talented woman, who is kind and caring.  She sent several of these photos to me, all quite different.  I think in each one, she captured a part of me, one of the facets that makes me who I am.   After all, we are all  multi-faceted, many different faces, moods, and personalities....an interesting blend that changes daily.

I apologize for the loss of my blog last night, nope, still hasn't appeared.  It was on a type of meditation that I used in class yesterday and I will write about it later.  These photos from Julie just made me smile tonight......I had to share them with you all.
