The World According to Elspeth, Age 3 1/2, in Photos

I just downloaded some pictures with the intention of creating yet another ode to autumn. . .and then I found that Elspeth had been quite busy with the camera. I actually found myself loving her photo journal, though of course she's not technically supposed to be running around with our only digital camera. Technicalities like these have never stopped her before. I wish I could include all her takings, but I've chosen just a few. Without further ado, then:





You'll note that focus is also a silly detail she doesn't pay too much attention to, which tells you much about her: she is ALWAYS on the move. Most of our pictures of her are out of focus for that very reason.




The first set of photos are from one evening and the next set are from a following afternoon.




We end with a self-portrait.

Great Pictures!
Gives you a real insight into what is going on in her rapidly developing mind.
We gain focus as we get older, then things go full circle and get fuzzy again.

The pics are so cute! What a fun surprise to find them on your camera! The first few remind me of some that J took when she was about 4 and discovered that with batteries, the "old" camera we gave her actually worked!
