This is one of those lucky shots that I will always be thankful for. I am by no means a photographer although I would love to be. I see a vo-tech class in my future. But you know how it is....you see that one photo that even if it doesn't show a face or an expression....it still just speaks volumes and brings forth so much emotion. This is one of those shots.
It was one of hundreds of pictures I snapped that day with a little Nikon point and shoot and the one picture that still fills my heart with love when I look at it.
Look at that chubby hand playing in the sand. You can still see the remnants of Jack's "snap on arms"....he was so chunky and had these rolls that conjured up images of the Michelin man. Look at those darling little piggies digging into the sand.....I could go on and on forever. I have no idea what happened to the original image off my camera. I'm sure it's still on a hard drive somewhere in the computer graveyard, but I'm so glad that I enlarged this to 8 x 10 and framed it.
I glance at this photo all the time when I walk past it and it always reminds me to stop for a moment and try to freeze frame my children at *this* moment....*this* day......at *this* time in hopes that I will never forget this moment in their lives because it all flies by too fast.
The rolls are no longer there and the feet have gotten bigger and my little boy will be starting 1st grade next week. Here's to hoping that I'm able to capture some more photos like this one throughout the years.
