I ♥ Faces Week 42 - “Halloween Dress-Up” Photo Challenge

I heart faces photo challenge tab


We don't dress-up for Halloween, so I decided to post a recent picture of Madison. This shot was actually taken last week. She's half Native American (her Daddy, Jerome, is Indian) and she loves competing at Pow Wow's in the "Fancy Shawl" dance category. There are actually 3 categories in her age division, but she has never competed in the other two (jingle & traditional). She loves that this particular style is supposed to mimic a joyful butterfly (that's why they use the shawl.) She loves the energy, the floating, the spinning, & most of all, the bright colors! All, just like a butterfly!
