{{Beauty}} Photography Contest & Prize

Jess of Yours Truly is having a {{beauty}} themed photo contest on her blog. I admit that I absolutely adore and love roses. Coral and deep Crimson colored roses are among my favorite varieties. I secretly love receiving roses, more than any other gift (so far!), from the young man who holds my heart. To me roses are of the utmost beauty, and receiving them makes me feel beautiful too!

Photo Challenge: "Your Favorite Shot"

{This is my entry for Carlotta's Photo Challenge}

This is my favorite photo for many reasons: The very cute little bi-ligual German boy (who just so happens to be my sweet little second cousin) in the photo himself of course, the blue ridge mountain ranges seen in the distance behind Mateo, and of course Mateo's miss matched shirt, hat and pink jeans that he is wearing just make this shot all the more interesting. We had so much fun hiking through the mountains and woods on this day...and my goodness I loved having such a cute little subject to photograph! =)

You should head on over to Carlotta's lovely blog, and while you're there check out her lovely photos as well as everyone else's favorite photos.

Here are some more photos of Mateo, and the scenery, that I took on our mountain hiking trip this past October:

{Yes, Mateo carried around a waffle in his hand the entire time we were up in the mountains...so cute!}

So what do you think of my favorite photo?

Merry Christmas Eve To You All!

Much love, Sarah
