This month, we went to a local Eco garden. It was a simple garden to walk and explore with my girls. Really, it was just to get out of the house for a while on Saturday as the rest of the family were busy with sport and friends. But as we walked around, I really noticed the closeness of my two youngest. They are physically, and emotionally close. They are almost 4 years apart in age, but we treat them almost like twins. I buy similar clothes, and they share a bedroom. They spend a lot of time together, and thankfully they want to. They have similar friends, and even play together as school. They fight, and they are most upset when one offends the other. They suffer through the hurt of  their other siblings, but it is when they hurt each other that I see a real sadness. It is a very unique, and beautiful relationship.

As we explored, I was also working on a challenge. I am involved in a group called Click Clique Project. Once a fortnight, we partner with a photographer from around the world. We get to know them a little better, and  we participate in challenges to spark our creativity. This challenge was to use your least favourite lens. For me, it is my 105mm. I love this lens, but it is slow to focus, and usually when I have a moving target, I prefer my 50mm. My partner was the lovely Anita of My Three Sons Images whose freelensing work I just adore. She inspired me to free lens with my 50mm as well.

Afterward as I went through the images, the different lenses and shooting style helped me to capture their story. To show the connection, and relationship  they share. They are sisters, friends, and  I am grateful to watch this relationship grow and blossom. This is 30 minutes in an Eco garden.

I absolutely love how you used OOF in these. Somehow the pictures feel almost more intimate when your children are reduced to shapes and colours. I think we are very good at reading the moods people have from their stance and shape and it works wonderfully here. And the colours are so lush and the black and whites gorgeously rich. You always make me feel that I have an awful lot to learn, and totally inspired to do it. Thank you!!

Great images Cindy. I love how you have used the OOF in most of the images. I love the opportunity to glimpse into their special world. My favorite images are the last two. I love how your daughter is smiling up at her sister in the very last one. They will love these when they are much older and want to look back on their memories of their time with each other.
