I ♥ Faces ~ Silhouette

In Ohio, it's pretty darn hard to come up with good silhouettes.  The ocean beach scene is obviously a no-go.  A sunset picture is pretty challenging too because woods often block the setting sun.  I was starting to get a bit desperate until the perfect situation popped up Friday night.  Mark had a bonfire going at his parent's house setting the scene for a silhouette, Ohio-style!

Hope you’ll join in on the fun at I ♥ Faces!

My Photo
Drew
I'm a Christian, wife, mom, teacher and computer addict. I started my family blog years ago in an attempt to document daily happenings. (I knew I'd forget everything before I ever had a chance to scrapbook so I'd better write it down!) After seeing the incredible improvement in photography my sister made after having a "Year in Photos" site, I was inspired to start my own. So now I have my "gross stories from a typical day with my kids" blog and my daily photo blog. Hope you enjoy!
