I have to admit every time I see the new theme for an iheartfaces Photo Challenge, my mind begins to wander through the hundreds of images I have cataloged in my collections. This month was no different. F is for Friendship....now what do I have that truly encompasses that word...friendship? My daughters together, absolutely have LOTS of those. My daughters and their friends playing, yep have that too. Clients, couples, family members, friends...yup have it all. So what do I choose? And do I feel it is worthy of the "challenge"? My wandering began to slow...well really, it stopped. It took me back to an evening in May. We had recently moved into our new home after returning stateside. The moving vans had been with us all day, kids were finally asleep and it was time for the parents to relax. My best friend was in town helping out, my first time seeing her since our return home. I was sitting on a lounge chair across from this duo and was clicking away, not really knowing what the conversation was about or what I was actually capturing on the other end. I just knew it's wasn't often I had my two best friends (husband and girlfriend) in front of the camera. It wasn't until I loaded and looked at them the following day that I caught my breath. An instant smile took shape on my face. To me, this image is the definition of friendship. And personally knowing the relationship between the two made me actually laugh out loud. It is SO them. Is it technically a picture of perfection? Nah. But I just can't pass up the candidness and honesty of the emotion between these two. Is she my best friend? Yea, she is. But will I ever question the strength of the friendship seen above? There is no doubt.
This is my choice for this month's challenge.
F is for Friendship.
(If you follow my
