Photo Friday:Reaching

Today's challenge is reaching, and while I had grand plans, only 2 pictures happened, and one of those is grainy.
Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of a little boy turning on a light?
Ahh, yesterday, when it was sunny. And there were blue skies. And tree branches reaching bony fingers up to the glorious warmth.
(today it is rainy, and didn't get light out til about 8:30am)
Join us here, and start thinking about next weeks challenge: Learning.

The trees are beautiful, perhaps because I'm longing for some sunshine!

grainy or not, that little hand reaching for a lightswitch brings back memories of my own children trying to turn a light on in their room.. precious!

I actually like the angle on the first one. The trees are great. Also, the exhaust stream from the jet goes with the reaching theme.

YES! It is very hard getting a picture of a child reaching for anything! arg! BTW I noticed you were expecting. Congratulations on your wee one!

I too had grand plans... The little hand reaching to turn on the light brings back good memories. I liked the trees reaching up into the sky.

Bonnie~ I am SHOCKED. Only TWO?!?!?

hehe I JUST teasing you!!!

LOVED the tree one (I have been so excited to see some sunshine in our neck of the woods too. I NEEDED it so bad!)

The hand one is a great concept and I love that you thought to get down on the ground to do it. VERY GOOD! The only thing I would add would be to center yourself so that you see more than just a hand. If you included your little guy's back, neck and back of head (along with the reach) in the shot you would have been able to tell instantly that he is so small he really needs to REACH. At first glance, you don't know WHO'S hand it is (I thought it was yours until I looked closely. hehehe)

Just a suggestion-because you have said I could.

You did good this week~ even with just TWO! ;-)

Nice pictures....the one with the little hand reaching up to the light switch reminds me of my daughter demonstrating to me how "big" she is by reaching high things :).
