Brown Eyed Girl


This is my entry in a neat meme called I Heart Faces. Click on this button to check it out




The theme this week is "The eyes have it". This photo was taken at Vacation Bible School at my church. I was asked to photograph everything that was going on. Kids either hate to have their picture taken or they beg you to. This young girl had the deepest brown eyes. The old Van Morrison song "Brown Eyed Girl" came to mind.

My son Gavin played the part of Satan in The Resurrection Pageant put on by Southwestern Adventist University. He played the part so well that it was a bit scary. I didn't fix the red eye in the photo because it seems to add to the evil portrayal.

My cat is named Moses. His eyesight appears to be as bad as mine. Here is the story about how Moses came to live with us and how he got his name.

  5. I thought of the same song. Her brown eyes also made me think of something I heard many years ago. We were still active duty at the time and had invited a couple of young marines over for dinner. When one of the young men, from the midwest, looked into my toddlers big brown eyes he exclaimed that she had cow eyes. I didn't know quite what to think of that but he said that where he was from, it was an affectionate term to refer to those big bornw milky eyes as cow eyes.

  6. It is really hard to capture brown eyes. You did a great job of it.

    ...it definitely looks like your son got into the part!

    ...the pic of the cat with glasses is a hoot!
