From a Distance – I Heart Faces

I’m always one to get up close and personal and right in people’s faces when I’m taking portraits, but this week’s I Heart Faces theme is “From a Distance”.  A great change of pace and a chance to take a step back and get a new perspective.

This is one of my all-time favorite photos of my kiddos.  Our neighbors have this great field – one of the only spots around our house without a tree on the horizon – that seems to change each day with the light and the weather.  We were headed home from swimming when I noticed that they had hauled all the round bales out of this field.  I stopped the car, grabbed my camera and hustled the kids out to get this shot.   Now I have this vision of recreating this same scene for all four seasons!  Unfortunately, we don’t get snow that often.  The kids may be much bigger in the second installation!
