Whew. I have finally — after months and months and months away — remembered to participate in a You Capture challenge. If I look different to you, I normally blog at Stop, Drop & Blog (and The Chronicles of Munchkin Land), but have decided to participate in most photo challenges with my photography blog. But I still share lots of photography of daily life over at Stop, Drop & Blog, so visit me some time!

This week was a fun challenge — body parts. I had some great pictures, but chose the following two for different reasons.

My youngest son was digging in the dirt yesterday. With his hands. So he showed me. I laughed. I later cringed when I had to remove the mud caked under his nails. I am glad I captured this photo so I can remember the day… forever.

My oldest son had a moment outside of quiet. I captured his beautiful eyelashes. This was one of those photos that, as I looked at it in the camera, I thought I would toss it. Not so. It’s a new favorite. He rarely looks so peaceful. Again, I am so happy I captured this one.

I enjoyed this challenge, even though I didn’t use half of the photos I took. Don’t forget to check out the linky on Beth’s post for more You Capture photos!

Next week’s challenge is “Emotion in Black and White.” Of course, the above black and white photo would have been perfect. Hopefully I come up with something moving for next week. My husband and I are going away this week for our annual St. Patrick’s Day weekend Getaway. Maybe I can find some emotion in the crowd!

Happy snapping!
