Wordless Wednesday — A Matter of Perspective

by Janice

Wordless Wednesday -- Olivia and Julia

It is all a matter of perspective.

(The story behind this shot is that Olivia and Julia wanted to hang off that bar. I put Olivia on first and then Julia. So by the time I got Julia on and stood back to take the picture, Olivia’s little hands were slipping. Of course, I am all about the shot — so I stole the shot before grabbing her! lol)

Mom Bloggers (and Dad Bloggers too!) post a photo on your site, link up and find others… Wordless Wednesday is tons of fun. (And I know it says “wordless” but I just can’t bear to not write anything! If I had created it, I probably would have named it something different! LOL So feel to link up your word-full or word-less Wednesday photos!)

Leave the URL to your photo (clearly mine are never truly “wordless”) and then visit others!

Here is a fun thumbnail linky:

And here is a basic linky if you prefer your linkies the good old fashioned way!

Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

Thanks! I was crying with laughter when I saw it! What kind of a mother am I — that I grabbed the shot before grabbing her!!! LOL But, it wasn’t that far down if she had fallen! LOL

It really is interesting to hear the story behind the photo. The perspective does change quickly with kids and makes a major difference in facial expressions.

You make me laugh. Instead of saying, “Good save!”, I’ll say, “Good shot!”
