Observation: Person 1

Her shoulder-length blond hair wisps in curls around her face. She looks tired and I can see the wrinkles starting to form around her eyes. The dark circles under her eyes suggest that she didn't get a great night's sleep. She was probably kept up again by her 5 year old son. She's sitting on the porch watching that boy and his three sisters playing basketball. She's leaning back as if she was remembering her childhood. Her baggy faded blue shirt suggests that she has worn it many times before, perhaps for cleaning around the house? She has a faded look in her eyes almost as if she's ready to retire. She must be very tired for it shows in the emotion of her face. You can see the grey in her hair as it's starting to grow out of the roots, the first sign of old age. Although she could possibly be in her middle fourties. She looks worn though, like her shirt, possibly with all those kids she has approched old age too quickly.
