63/365: If Only He Could Share

untitled.jpg

I realize I'm a little obsessed with eyelashes. My boys just have such lush, full, dark eyelashes. In fact, one of the first things I noticed about Grayden (as I was processing the fact that I'd just given birth to a baby in my bathroom) was that he had incredible eyelashes. I remember hoping that he would keep them past the newborn stage. So far, he seems to be.

This is actually a 100% crop from an image I took with the new 50. It could be a little more sharp, but I like it anyway :)

Hold up! Do tell me about the bathroom birth! Home birth, I hope? And at least your obsession is eyelashes rather than kid feet. I want to upgrade my 50 too, but keep finding other things that I want more...lol Let me know if I should move it up on the list!

100%?? Wow. Um. I need to work on my focus. A LOT. :)

Misty said...

looks really sharp and clear for 100% crop, nothing like a new lenses, I've been enjoying mine too. (28 - 300mm, f/3.5) and (35, f/1.4)

Oh wow! He has some serious eyelashes! Out of all my 4 kids, my son has the best eyelashes. It just doesn't seem fair.

I had to smile at your one comment. I remember having a similar thought process after I had Tatyanna in my bedroom. :) It was very much "oh wow...did I really just have a baby here at home??!....I did! oh cool!" It was pretty awesome.
Lexi was supposed to be a water birth...but at the last minute I couldn't bear the thought of being wet. Transition does not make for entirely rational thought process.

Whoa...This eyelash shot is awesome. Was the bathroom delivery accidental, as in couldn't get to the hospital in time?

That is a pretty fantastic 100% crop and those eyelashes are gorgeous! I think you need a little post to give us all a little more of the bathroom birth story...

Courtney said...
