One of my favorite movie quotes ever, is from The Village, where William Hurt's character says to Joaquin Phoenix's character, "You are fearless in a way I shall never know." I feel that way about my daughter much of the time. I am afraid of everything in life. I have ALWAYS been afraid, always been exceedingly cautious. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 14 years old!! Yes, you read that right, FOURTEEN. Fear has always held me back, paralyzed me, made me a quitter. I am so proud that she is not that way. She learned to ride her bike without training wheels this month. She is not afraid of falling. She is just seven and she is fearless in a way I shall never know. Post Script :: The day after these images were taken, my husband surprised her with a new big girl bike. :) Be sure to follow the blog circle over to the gorgeousness that is A Rock and a Soft Place Photography >>> <<<

Being fearless is good when tempered with with wisdom. I have a fearless child and I sometimes worry that she will have to learn the hard way. One of her lessons last year was not fun but I do think she learned a lot from it. I love that she took to her bike so quickly. My favorite images are the ones with the movement in them.

Paige, these are so great! Learning to ride with no training wheels is so exciting and such a monumental time in our youth. I love your perspectives through the window and the motion shot.
