I enjoyed this prompt. I only wish that my camera lens (a 30mm) would let me get just alittlebit closer to the baby blues that I snapped away at all week.

I have blue eyes (both of my parents do, too) and all four kids have them, too…although, the shades vary greatly. Henry and Ivy have light blue like their dad (Henry’s sometimes even have goldish specks), while Essie’s are dark and bright and Erv’s seem to be somewhere in between. T has brown eyes and feels very much left out sometimes (actually, he wishes that some of his spawn took after him in that department).

Here are my favorites:

(Ivy took that last picture of me so I could try to show my eyes for comparison. Not bad for an almost 7 year old, right?)

Through The Lens Thursday is meant for self-improvement, so please….constructive criticism is welcome!

Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year.

Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share your own posts if you’d like to follow along and work on your own photography! And use the hashtag #throughthelensthursday to connect with others working on it, too.

Next week’s prompt is COZY.
