great series .. I had to laugh, while the girls had tea and chatted the little guy ran off to hunt crayfish!!

BTW the B&W one is so dramatic, you could stare at that young lady's eyes for ages .. great one and all ..

Lovely portraits, 3rd is great, the light electrifies her eyes and brings it to life.

Ruthie! from the 1st one to the Last one! Bravo!!! Love the B & W tea party, the Girl in the Red Dress is beautifully composed!, the Portrait is very very nicely done, her eyes just Pop; The last Candid is well, just Perfect. The boy is full of wonder and I love the water and the reflections, Fantastic.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

beautiful set Ruthie..I love the persepctive of the tea party shot, and her deep red dress in the second could have taken over , but her face is just a perfect exposure and tone and hold the view, really well done !

I like the BW portrait too and the little boy is about 30 seconds from getting told for the third time to get away from the water with his good clothes on ! lol .. thanks for showing them !

Great selection of your work as always. Standing out for me are number three...mesmerizing...and number four. I can relate, was a young boy myself way back when......"Tea Party?....pffft...I'm playing in the water." Just an awesome image.

Tea Parties are wonderful and you have captured them spectacularly! But the little boy reaching into the creek is my favorite. What great photo! I love his expression...the lighting, composition, reflection...really great shot.

Love the last photo of the boy! His expression is so wonderful and natural, as if he knows he's been caught red-handed, doing something he knows he shouldn't be doing. Well captured.

Gorgeous all of them, you certainly have a talent for capturing that sparkle that only children have.

You are a very talented artist. Your work really shines when you are with children.
