Two aunties

2008.05.06
Aunty Dot is 92 years old.


Aunty Heather.

Two aunts with my wife, Wendy.

A photo taken in better light. (A repost from last June.)

All but one taken on a visit last weekend to two of my wife's aunties.

jagungal Magnificent portraits Pete — the textures of old age, both physical and psychological. #5 is quite simply superb but there is a lovely light in all of these as well as the absolutely ravishing E1 rendition of colour. By now you are an absolute master of your instrument!

pattyb Beautiful portraits of such beautiful women Pete! It's such a blessing to have elder family members. I'm one who enjoys all the stories of the "old days".

#4 is so lovely, the tender look on Wendy's face and the way she is holding Dot's hand.

Thanks for sharing these, makes me want to hop on a plane and go visit my Aunts. ; )

That last shot is one of the most beautiful portrait that I've seen on Photoblog.
Her eyes...Deep thoughts in 'em.
Fabulous.

ShangriLa No Madoc, she's saying, "Should I get the cake out of the oven?" The hand gives it all away. ;-)

But as old auntie's go, they're not a bad looking pair, Rolpa.
