There's no posing this child, not if you wish to get a natural look. Once in awhile, something nice slips through . . . if you wait long enough.

Our MMR-caused autistic child. Not in a smiling mood, but definitely lost in her own little world. Shot from across half the house. Probably should have gotten a 'leetle' bit closer.

The wonder of it all. . . . Even harder to pose than Sariah, but well worth the wait.

Mom always says every photo taken of her catches her with her eyes closed. . . . But I'm quicker on the draw.

f-stop fantasy 
I like your theme, seeing fantasy in everyday….
Our Pastor asked us to reflect upon, and consider the condition of our soul as though we had never looked at it before. The idea is to repeat this each year, beginning in January as a way of building a “weather forecast or road map” to the months ahead. It caused me to make a total recommittment to caring for the needs of my family and community. Will share more at http://www.vintagemodern57.com.
Thanks about the theme.
Regarding “building a ‘weather forecast or road map’ to the months ahead,” Why wait until January? Check out my blog, “Why Make Resolutions?” at https://oddsandendthoughts.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/why-make-resolutions/
Your Pastor’s very wise, but there just might be a little wisdom in “Why Make Resolutions?” One can hope, anyway.
