After the bath

Her mother gave her a bath and then sat with the afternoon sunlight filtering through the window.  I love that soft light and those blond curls.

I have treasured this photograph for years.  This granddaughter is now 9 1/2 (can't believe that!) and those blond curls have been exchanged for a pony tail as she races across the lacrosse field.

I had fun trying to capture this scene in pastel - it was a challenge!
