The child within...

Yeah, she's 16 and growing up fast. She looks so stylish in her trendy clothes and pretty make up. Still, if we're lucky, we can sometimes catch a glimpse of the child in her. I'm grateful she has not abandoned the whimsy that makes her uniquely her. I hope she never does!
As you probably guessed, this was for the 365. The challenge was "caught in the act" so I tried to capture the motion of the pinwheel and imply that I caught a teenager enjoying a childish toy. The bubbles from yesterday were attempts for the same challenge, but when I saw how pretty the late afternoon light was in this shot, I knew it was the one I'd use. Love how the bokeh is radiating out from the pinwheel. Pure luck...In hindsight, I think I should have used a slightly faster shutter speed. I wouldn't want to freeze the pinwheel, but would have liked to see some of the individual blades in the blur.
