PHOTOGRAPHER, 154/365
Take a good look. This is Andj. Someday she'll be a well known "Photographer," Theme #233, and you can say you knew her when she was just starting out.

MISMATCHED, 153/365
The electric fence in the immediate foreground seems a little "Mismatched," Theme #186, against the backdrop of an Amish farmstead.

STOP THE ACTION, 148/365
I wanted a photo of her up in the old tree. She, of course, was far more interested in jumping out of the tree than in posing among the branches. Even though I couldn't stop the jump, I did manage to "Stop the Action," Theme #304.
THE GAMES WE PLAY, 147/365
It's been 18 months since I closed the daycare and our young friends were surprised during a recent visit to discover I don't have a room full of toys and activity supplies at our new home. I did have one of the old "Games We Play," Theme #319, tucked away in a closet.

FOOTWEAR, 146/365
My sister and her husband have hosted 2 young men this past year through a student foreign exchange program. These boys have become part of our family and we all gathered to say goodbye to them this past weekend. I noticed a pair of Mauricio's Havaianas sitting by the back door and thought how much my sister will miss seeing his favorite "Footwear," Theme #107, scattered around the house.
ADOLESCENCE, 145/365
"Adolescence," Theme #8, is adolescence no matter where the kids are or where they come from. One of my sister's sons from the student foreign exchange program shows off his fishing skills to a girl he met here in the states.
FOREIGN, 144/365
My sister, brother-in-law and their two sons from a student "Foreign," Theme #109, exchange program. Mikkel and Mauricio came from Denmark and Brazil to spend the last school year as part of our family. We are all so sad to tell them goodbye now.
