Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: family portrait

[best appreciated at full size against black] Yesterday I let the dogs out to do their business and when I turned around to walk up our stairs to go inside, I found this happy family posing for a portrait! This side of our house is in shade most of the day, and is cool and wet. Moss grows on the stairs and now I can say mushrooms do too!! I know I'm silly, but I can't help seeing mushrooms as little people! Here I see mom and dad mushroom in the middle, with the youngest child on the left being bashful but encouraged to be brave by mom...the other child is older and coyly leans close to dad who stands straight, tall, and proud of his beautiful family! :D I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr! www.flickr.com/people/sfhipchick/ This image was taken in February, 2012.

[best appreciated at full size against black] A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of a family of mushrooms that I found on my front stairs. The past couple of days I've shown you two more mushrooms that didn't want to be in the portrait, and today, I'd like to show you the family of mushrooms when they were all grown up! In the first photo, I identified mom and dad mushroom in the middle, with the youngest child on the left and the other child on the right. Now the shy little one on the left is taller than mom, and slender like all fast-growing kids! Mom nuzzles him fondly while her son seems to be saying, "Aww, Mom, cut it out!!" On the right, Dad and his grown up but still short daughter lean together for a hug! Everyone, SAY CHEESE!!! :D This image was taken in February, 2012.
