Faceless Portraits

I have a few photos taken at different times, of various people which focus on something other than their faces. Some have been posted before. Others have not. I thought they might make an interesting collection. Of course, that's all in the eye of the beholder, so I hope YOU enjoy them.

"Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven." Henry Ward Beecher

My beautiful little neighbour - only days old.

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" Frida Kahlo

These darling feet belong to her, too.

"When you step on the brakes, your life is in your foot's hands." George Carlin

This is my son driving home from acquiring his G2 license earlier this month.

"And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together." Robert Fulghum

This lovely hand and ring modeled by my newly-engaged young cousin.

"It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes." Robert Louis Stevenson

These cute little toes belong to another, younger cousin.

"In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag." W. H. Auden

The tail is attached to Binky. Half wild, half pet, totally adorable.

"Why do you always wear a hat?" " 'Cause it fits my head." Nicholas Evans

One summer evening, a few years back, I was walking around a local park and spotted this group fishing off of the dock. I couldn't resist snapping a shot. It's still a favourite of mine.

I hope you enjoyed my faceless portraits.
