~Ruby Tuesday~
This song is sung alot in our house..But of late it has become alot more meaningful..Jessi has decided she is no longer a baby, she is a big girl and as such, no longer wishes to be called my baby girl, bubba or anything else that conjurs up images of the baby she no longer is..A sad time for me as she is, and will always be my baby girl….Goodbye Ruby Tuesday..

Good on ya Jessi (love the song). Looks like both characters are saying good bye.
Wonderful imagery

Thanks Andy..Yea Jessi is such a trooper now..She gets in and does what she has to, then announces that there will be no more photos and runs off…

Beautiful work here darling. Love the lighting.
A little hint – she’ll always be your baby – it’s a stage – she’ll be back. xxxx
tonilouise replied
Awww Thanks Shaz..I hope so. It’s always nice to feel needed, if she’s grown I don’t think I’m needed as much…xxxx

How totally sweet.. I love the composition.. the little girl and the dog are fantastic, as are those red colors… great idea with the blur on the sides… for some reason I can almost imagine this as you as a child.. great piece.

Wow Toni! Amazing photo and a great memento for you to hold on to. The wonderful thing about rebirth is that with it comes renewal and regrowth.
Here is a quote I wrote a few years ago I think applies here. “God finds us at the point we seek to find ourselves.”
Let’s therefore be thankful that God is forever finding us at the point of our greatest need, eternal in his resolve.
As we lose the children we’ve born, so too gain the beautiful people they evolve into.
I’ll just say this Toni. If this beautiful “young lady” transforms into even a shaded semblance of her mommy then she will be one of the most blessed human beings to ever grace the earth.
Perfect tribute mom…....

this is just a great capture, and I know what you mean. They grow up very fast that’s why these pics are priceless, very nice.
tonilouise replied
Too fast for me, I’d love her to stay a baby for just a while longer..The world is a scary place and I’d love to be able to protect from it forever..Thankyou so much for your lovely comment..

They never stop being our babies to us, but they need to grow, too. I can relate, my eldest just turned 10 – very grown up! ;o)
Peter Evans
A beautiful moment, extraordinary image :-)
Andy Evans
Classic shot and one to treasure, sadly our canine ‘best friends’ don’t stay with us forever but with images like this they will always be special. My kids have the same relationship with our dog.
Great work Toni … speaks volumes
—Andy—Magee
How extraordinarily lovely! It truly does look as though she’s comfronting head-on, the mysterious journey that leads us all to adulthood. Stay Jessi! Stay!! lol!
A beautiful keepsake you’ve created for both of you Toni!
Alf Caruana
superb image and very well composed. well done
AlexMac
Toni, this is so touching, My girls went through this stage too, its a hard thing for parents to hear, that their Baby does not want to be called baby any more, I agree with Sharon though, it is a stage and she will be back =0)
