Tara over at Sticky Fingers has tagged me in her new meme (A Favourite Photo).
It sounded easy. All I had to do was find a favourite photo and post it on my blog.
It wasn’t easy.
I spent quite a lot of time going over photos. I decided that I’d found THE one and then I found another contender … and another … and another. When I whittled them all down to THE one I felt guilty because there was only one of my children in the photo.
Eventually four hours later I slapped myself about the face with a wet fish whilst shouting “Pull yourself together woman!” and Hey Presto! ….
So without further ado and any more waffling, here is my favourite photo.
Messing about on the river
I didn’t actually take the photo, Facebook Wife Mother of 1 must be credited with the glory.
This was taken during the Summer at Teacher Friend Mother of 3′s caravan. The picture is of the 5 year oldl playing on the rope swing after an afternoon of messing about on the river.
She just looks so bloody happy. She’s been through a lot recently, which I haven’t blogged about, but she’s doing good. Despite everything she still manages to smile just like this most days.
When I look at this photo it makes my heart beat a little faster. I love that girl.
So. What is your favourite photograph. And why?
… and because I want you to spend hours poring over your photos I am tagging the following people …
Mummy Mayhem, Caution Woman at Work, 2 Teens a Dog & Me, Double Trouble – Maia & Lara’s Blog, Insomniac Mummy, Glowstars, Beetroot & Gherkins, Mocha Beanie Mummy, She Was Not At All Domesticated, The Moiderer, Wendy Mallins & Notes From Lapland

She’s starting to look more and more like you I think, poor lass, I’m kidding! Glad to hear she’s doing well, I’m sorry I forgot to ask when we last met up. x
Hi Laura, thanks for the tag, what a difficult meme task.

You chose so very well, it looks like a film poster, so innocent and happy at the same time.
Will spend probably whole night tonight making up my mind.
she does look so happy. May she have plenty more just as happy days.
right, time to ferret through the old pictures…sigh, there goes another day lost…
Great photo and I’m so glad she’s doing better

What a great photo. She looks amazing and so happy. Not surprised it makes your heart beat a bit faster – it makes mine beat a bit faster and all! Happy New Year to you too. x
Thanks – hey I’ve tagged you on my latest ’110 things’ post.
Umm, that would be 10 things, not 110 things
A brilliant entry Laura – she looks so like you
“When I look at this photo it makes my heart beat a little faster. I love that girl” – oh bloody hell, you’re making me well up . . .
Thank you, although I hope she doesn’t look too like me. Poor child.
