[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A photo taken at our new home in Vermont, the house sits on the side of a mountain so there are great sliding hills there. My daughter had just taken a run down their "luge" run and happy she made it the furthest of all!

I guess as a Mom I couldn't help but post the photo showing the joy in her face, an image all Moms love to see in their childrens faces, she and her brother are the reason for our return to Vermont and I can't wait until we can reside there full time!

The photo was taken handheld while I stood in a snowbank hoping not to get hit by the other luger.:o)
Resized and sharpened for your viewing pleasure.

Hi Donna,

So here we are in the Vermont Residence.
It's a beautiful picture as a picture, but much more then that, sheer joy is coming out of the screen - so you made a fantastic capture.

PS - I was looking for dogs jumping up and down as well and barking like crazy - could not find them.....

How exciting - and tell her I said "Well done" all the way from New Zealand. It is good to watch our children at play and sport and cheer them on.

You have captured the joy perfectly, Donna. Your selection of speed and focus are perfect for this wonderful moment. I just love the snow moving from the tube. Wonderful colour and beautiful young lady. Congratulations.

Hi Donna
The spontaniety of the moment is well captured in this shot, the expression of the winner says it all. Great action shot.

Welcome back to Vermont. We are as the crows fly neighbours, I am originally from Vt and often go back to take pics.
Vermont has so much to offer the photographer.
