Listening to the history of Stonehenge

It was sunny but windy and freezing. Nothing good enough to put Issey off however, and she listened to each and every part of the audio recordings detailing the history of Stonehenge as we circumnavigated these ancient standing stones!

Issey: Spring breeze in her hair
'a portrait of issey, once a week, every week, in 2013'

Second week on the 52 journey! Its all very new but great to be challenged by a new project. Also starting to explore all the amazing shots of my fellow '52'ers' ...here's a wee selection from 13/52....how could you resist this image from Bradshaw & Sons..? This beautiful raw shot by Picking Wild Mountain Berries; I used to put Issey's hair up like that all the time :-) And happy memories at the beach captured in B&W by Pomegranate & Seeds
After a dose of flu for everyone, it is lovely to be out in the garden, running around under the spring sunshine!

rainbow girl

last year was so crazy, that now I've got my camera out again I am finally downloading lots of shots that i took in 2012.
i came across this little series of issey wearing her cousin amelie's rainbow hippy dress all the way from tasmania! 
they're not that in focus but I love them still. one, because i think issey looks so beautiful and, altho only 3 when the pics were taken, there is a glimpse of what she might look like when she is older. two, they were taken during a time of rough and tumble and silliness at her cousins house and the atmosphere was lovely...i think the last pic says it all!
