- My precious daughter is the main subject.
- I love my daughter's expression of introspection . . . what was she thinking?
- The photo brings back memories of precious family-time spent at Fort Kid park.
- I recall the joy my kids had while playing here . . . and that brings me happiness.
- I like the black & white.
- I have had many positive comments on this photo from family members.
- Mickey Mouse has a prominent place in the photo as well. I love Mickey Mouse, too!
- This is the first photo I posted on this blog. It was my favorite then, too!
- I also use this photo as my blog header. I changed the header once...but that didn't last long. I soon returned my precious baby-girl to the header.
- Anyway....those are my reasons for choosing this photo. It will be fun to see what 2009 brings!

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:
Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."

Happy New Year, Hope. it is a lovely photo of the most precious child. Best to you and yours.
Hope, this is one of my favorites, too. Although, it's hard to pick because I love all of your shots!
I hope the new year brings you happiness, peace, love and prosperity. And many, many more great pictures!
Wow. This would have been my favorite photo too. I remember it.
Happy New Year to you and your family from Patty and Abe.
Couldn't agree more. It's such classic timeless image.
Happy New Year
It's a beautiful and loving choice, Hope. It always makes me smile when I visit your blog.
Happy theme day! And happy new year too!
Happy New Year Hope!
This is a lovely photo and very worthy of being your best :)
Great choice. Happy New Year.
I think I said something like this to Tanya. You should take your daughter back to the swing every year and chart her growth through pictures.
That's a beautiful, wonderful definition of 'best.' Very wonderful choice!
I think this is the perfect choice, it's the photo that greets me every time I visit.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year, Hope!
One of my faves too.
A great choice for today. Blessings to you and your family for a great new year.
I love this one too Hope. Are you ok or just busy?! :)
this is a great photo of everyday like, lovingly shot. I like that you can almost feel the lining of her jacket, it's so clear. And the light shadows in the background, and that Mickey is staring up at Hope's daughter, almost as if he is aware of her mood and trying to make her laugh. And her little hands are perfect.
Definitely a favorite of mine & many others!
Wishing you and your wonderful family all the best in the New Year.
