nifty fifty (day 16, or sometimes you just have to dance)

Today’s images were taken with the nifty fifty and a wide open aperture of f/1.8.  That said, I would love to capture a few of these again with a little lensbaby blur.  Importantly, the bear featured in today’s photographs is none other than Ms. Mary Bear (always an advocate for women’s rights, she prefers not to have her identity tied up in a neat package and labeled as either wife or wife-to-be).  The other model is, of course, Nan.  She’s usually fairly willing, although today it took a bit of persuading in addition to digging out my old pointe shoes.  Hope you all have a lovely week and remember to keep dancing!
