Pure Delight

I don't remember what it was that caught Ellie's eye...maybe a bird or a butterfly. Whatever it was I just love her expression of true delight of being outside. The greenness of the grass and trees in the background just seemed to perfectly complement her sweet smile.

    She has such an expressive face and smile. Love the combo of colors in her swimming suit and hair against the green-green grass.
