Common Ground

Virginian-Pilot photographer Vicki Cronis-Nohe will explore the theme ''Everyday Heroes,'' in which she will look for people in our community who are quietly making a difference in the lives of those around them, with no motivation of recognition or praise. They might be helping a family member, a friend, or a stranger.

My First best friend

Nevaeh Tejchman, 4, second from right, couldn’t wait for her ballet recital. She was even more excited because her best friend, Lauren Padilla, 5, right, would be in it with her. The two became fast friends when they met at the Academie de Ballet in Chesapeake. Backstage before the show, the girls hugged and kidded around. After the performance, Nevaeh gave Lauren a gift – a purse that matched hers with a necklace inside that had “BFF” etched into it. “Best Friends Forever.”

Below are more images from the girls' first recital - and yes, they are in color... how could I resist?
