the many faces of a lotus bud

That girl is on to me and she is so done with my camera.

(68)

I feel like I have to go into stealth mode but then the click of the shutter tips her off.

And out come the silly faces.

But I realize that these silly ones are just as precious as the smiling faces.

I have no problem getting lots of photos of her eyelashes which are sooooo pretty.

In the end, we are both fairly happy.  I realize that forcing smiling photos is exactly what my mother used to do.  Oh please, oh please, oh please, don't let me become my mother!
