Today's children are good with technology whether it be tablets, computers, gaming consoles, or cell phones. For the longest time, Mouse didn't seem particularly interested in any of them. Even despite her friends' interest in them. It's only been in the last year or so Mouse has taken to the tablet. She's quite a pro at finding her games or watching her favorite cartoons. As parents who know some of the pitfalls of online access, my husband and I are both very aware of what she's accessing and when (although, once she did purchase a couple episodes of Bubble Guppies before we had a chance to stop her--and we have taken measures to avoid that happening again).
Last summer Mouse took an interest in taking photos with our cell phones. She especially likes to take selfies. Children bring such an interesting perspective to life, don't they? I thought I would share some of Mouse's photos with you today (with her permission):

Love the shadow and plant photos! Mouse has a really good pair of eyes!
ReplyDeleteEustacia - My favorite are the shadow ones. :-)
DeleteWhat a great way to see the world from her point of view!
ReplyDeleteKathy - I think so too! It's so interesting what she decides to photograph. She takes a lot of selfies too, but I didn't want to post those. :-)
DeleteMouse's pics are lovely, especially the flowers and the shadow pics! I'm always fascinated by our children's perspective and marvel at their skills. :)
ReplyDeleteMelody - Thank you! I am fascinated by their perspective too. She shows a talent with the camera, I think. :-)
DeleteSo sweet! My father-in-law gave my toddler an old digital camera, and the photos he's taken are fascinating -- it's wondering to see the world from his perspective -- like these!
ReplyDeleteAudra - Thank you! It is fascinating. My daughter got a little digital camera for her birthday and she's loving it. :-)
DeleteYou know, she's actually quite good. Lots of experimentation with subject matter, composition and points of view :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteDonna Marie - I think several of her photos turned out well too. A photographer in the making!
DeleteCool photos! I can tell Mouse is having fun with it and it is neat to see things from her point of view.
ReplyDeleteCarole - She has so much fun taking pictures! :-)
DeleteSe takes better pictures an I do. Seriously ... most of the time.
ReplyDeleteChristy - Haha! I know what you mean. Sometimes her photos are better than mine. :-)
DeleteThese are great! I think you do have an artist on your hands. I love that she takes such different types of pictures and angles.
ReplyDeleteIliana - Thank you! She definitely is an artist at heart. Photos, art, stories . . .
DeleteWow! At her age, I would've done solely pet photos (often with elaborate costumes, or making them look like they're reading books). I know because I took a few on our old disposable cameras. Some of hers actually look like the highly "liked" ones you'd see on instagram. :)

Litha Nelle - I am not sure what I would have taken photos of at her age. LOL I am really impressed with how good her eye is for certain photos. Of course, it could just be luck.
Delete:) Mouse looks like a natural!
ReplyDeleteJenclair - Maybe she'll go into photography as a career. :-)
DeleteI had been debating between making oatmeal or peanut butter cookies and you have just solved the dilemma. Make PB oatmeal cookies! lol
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
Karen - Haha! I hope they turn out good. :-) I should make myself some.
DeleteShe's got a good eye!!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - Thank you! I think so too. :-)
DeleteVery cool. How old is she?
ReplyDeleteBook Sage - Thank you! She's six now, but was four and five when she took the photos.
