I love this picture. It reminds me of one Kaylee took of her sister, which I find completely soft and stunning.

Bianca was encouraging me last night in a few things and what she said really watered my heart more than I think she knows. I want to be a person who finds the treasure in the field of dirt- who see's the wonder in the daily routines and bus routes, who see's the beauty in the broken and hurting people I walk out life with each day. I want to be trusted with God's heart, and I know for me that requires a carefulness and an honoring of where He has hidden beauty. I want to draw people's attention to things they'd miss, through my writing. Take the simple, and show it's grandeur. Take the unsure, and convince them of their significance.

I love photos like this, that focus on one simple thing that we see and overlook-- forcing the viewer to stop and see beauty where they might otherwise not. And when it's really done well- using all the faculties of light, frame, and focus.... well, that is photography at its best. :)
