Brown Eyed Girl- (Van Morrison) charlie

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

I am grinning a bit because I'm getting old ya know and her glasses are very simular to what I was wearing in 1970, but mine of course were just black. Oh I know they are very hip! That is how the cycles of hip go. Just so you all dont start wearing polyester suits that are bright green, I'm good with it. I think you are close to my kids ages.

Hi Shirley,
This is my girlfriend Karen. The glasses are actually quite modern...the inside of the frame is bright blue while the outside is black. She is an artist and designer....hence the hip glasses! Thanks I thought the brown tone worked. The reason I chose the song is due to the expression in her eyes! She had no idea I was about to take this shot and I like the startled look. To me the eyes are this shot and she fancies it as well. She is much better looking than this reveals but the artist in her prefers things a bit out of the ordinary. The same shot with a cute smile...would be ordinary. Anyway just a bit of practice for the real show in the comp.

This young lady looks as if she is a flashback to the 60s with the thick dark rimmed glasses, the fleese vest gives her away. The brown tones work good with it and the title.
