Have you ever seen more genuine wonder than this? Maaike is a friend's new baby girl. We were visiting with her and I had my camera with me. We were standing in front of the pool when suddenly Maaike saw something in the sky and turned her head to look. She is only about a month old, so everything in this world is completely new and interesting to her. I've never noticed this look in babies before (probably because I don't spend too much time around new-borns). When I saw that face I just had to pull out my camera as quickly as I could, and snapped a couple of shots. Unfortunately it did come out a little bit blurry because it was getting dark outside and I didn't want to ruin the natural light on her face with a flash. Jody was moving her from side to side, so my camera couldn't keep up with these conditions. Regardless, I think this shot says it all.
I decided to enter it in a photo contest today titled "Wonders of Life". The title made me think of this photo, so pray for me or send positive thoughts. I want to win!!!
