JULIE KIRK's 'Height of Summer' is also almost over...I have been following it with interest and amusement, and have decided to add my 'twopence worth'!
As you can see from this photograph.....

Craig, myself, Kirsty, the two nieces, mum and dad
....I do not come from a tall family, so at 5' 3" I feel fairly average (my brothers are slightly taller, but not by much).
What strikes me most in the picture above and in this one....

...apart from, of course the obvious fact that I am a head shorter than Craig!..is that Kirsty, who is actually about three inches taller than me, tends to 'hunch down' to my height when we are in photographs together...I wonder if she realises she does so?
Thanks for dropping by!
take care of you

Lovely family photo and at 5'3" you positively tower over me!
ReplyDeleteThis may have been published already as it is the second time I have commented on this post!
ReplyDeleteAt 5'3" you positively tower over me. Lovely family photograph. x
I'm about the same height as you,Alison....and my DDs definately don't hunch down....just the opposite in fact!!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful family photos. Our youngest daughter is as tall as our son at just over 6 feet tall. She doesn't like being so tall, but I pray that she will learn to embrace her height. My husband is 5'10'', so we're not sure where the tallness comes from. I'm just 2 inches taller than you. ~ Blessings, Tracey

I too have been following this with interest. I am hoping to have mine ready to go by tomorrow :-) It has been a great series.
ReplyDeleteI'm 5'6 and both my girls are shorter than me. One is 5'1 and the other is 5'3
ReplyDelete. I always feel a little sad that they didn't grow taller than me. I know they really wanted to.
Glad you joined the party!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed when taking group shots than many people hunch down. I think they worry about getting cut off if they don't squeeze in.

lovely family photo - 5 foot 3 seems to be a common height for Scottish women
ReplyDeleteMy immediate family are small like me too - lulls me into a false sense of normality sometimes! You can forget the majority of the population is taller than you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Alison - I've added your post to the board http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/the-height-of-summer-2012/ and will go and add you to the height chart! [It'll go on my blog on Thursday].
Julie :-)
lovely photos - my eldest is 13 and towers over me at 5ft4!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be about average round here too - though TSO is now a couple of inches taller than I am and still growing..
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely picture
Once again, I am taller than a blog friend. :o} I've had fun reading these height-of-summer posts, and only a few of our friends are close to my height. Ruth and Mel and I would be among the tallers friends (I'm 5'7" - my great-grandmother was 6' tall!). Sweet photos of your family!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shot of the three of you!
ReplyDeleteUntil I read your height, just looking at the photo I was thinking you were probably 5'6" or 7", there are some small people in your family :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of your family Alison. I am the same height. I've always envied those tall & lanky ladies! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat 'hunch' is really interesting! I sometimes find myself 'hunching' for a photo if I'm the tallest in a group, though I've never properly thought about it before!
ReplyDeleteOh my sounds like your summer is still in full swing there. We are just heading out of Winter now with temps in the high 20s right now. Had 34 the other day which was a killer but there is much worse to come - EEEEEEk!! Must be a shock to you coming from Scotland!! One does acclimatize over the years though I find! Sweet Kirsty is just bending down to be closer to mum :)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely family photographs, Alison. Still sounds hot out there, contrary to our autumnal weather. At least the rain kept away for the opening of the paralympic games last night. It was spectacular. x
ReplyDeleteIt's been lovely to see all the posts on this subject. Height is quite an issue for my daughter, so many comments have struck a chord. I had always thought you were around 5' 7", no idea why! I'm actually an inch taller than you.

Meant to add that the gift card holder tutorial is on my blog today :o)
ReplyDeleteI love that family group photo - including Boo :D
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the Height posts, too. How cute that Kirsty gets closer to your height in photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice family picture! In our family my sister (5'4") tends to follow my Mum's (5'2") side of the family while I (5'6") take after Dad's (5'10 1/2") side.
