Well, this was an interesting exchange.
After admiring the little bundle of joy, the girl on the left remarked that the baby looked nothing like the husband of the girl on the right.
Girl on the right: "That's 'cause it ain't his baby!"
And that's just the way it was.

Of all the pictures taken of my daughter at her wedding, this is my favorite. And I took it myself.
We were minutes away from the wedding ceremony. Elizabeth was biding time with her bridesmaids and flower girls in a room next to the church.
When I first got to the "waiting room", everything was very animated and LOUD! Lots of laughter and fun and conversation. Someone had even brought in a fan to put under Elizabeth's dress to make sure the bride remained cool!
When the ceremony was only minutes away, though, everything became so serious. Everyone became quiet, and a hush stole over the whole room in anticipation of what was to come.
I love this "look" on Elizabeth's face that day. This is a look I have seen from my daughter only a few times through her life. It's a look she has when she is emotional and it's important. I have always marveled at the beauty of this look of hers.
This picture, above all the others, captured my heart on her wedding day.

Beautiful little girl...nice colorful hat...but now that I study it - what is that bit of lint on that hat?
Oh well. Who cares? Sometimes it's just tiring to have perfectionistic tendencies!

FREEDOM!
This is a high spirited little girl! I'm honored that I'll be able to follow her progress through life!

The most special thing about this photo is not what's there---but what's NOT there.
In my early days of learning Photoshop, this was my challenge: to remove all those unsightly power lines from what otherwise was a nice springtime view of the Lebanon United Methodist Church (side view as seen from J.T. Whitlock's front yard).
I successfully removed the power lines, left the resplendent redbud intact, and this picture then earned its place as a nice little watercolor-like rendition in my personal collection of "faves" that are on my back-burner to someday be one in a collection of local note cards of some sort.
