In the Beginning...

Tonight I opened my first photo album, looking for a particular photo (that I can't find). My parents gave me a camera for my birthday when I was 8, and how funny is it that these were among the first pictures I took. While I have photos of my baby sister, the family dog. and my neighbor/childhood friend (who became a well-known actress), what makes me laugh tonight is that I was drawn to the animals from the start. So this is today's offering, and, though I have them, not more redundant photos of squirrels, cats, doves and ducks...cute though they may be!

Incredible find.... So many memories included here, I'm sure.

@aglennc so many photos are, aren't they? I can't imagine NOT having them! (Even these, mundane as they are, make me realize I didn't just recently start photographing animals!)

[Rick Schies]

I was going to comment that the love for animals in born in us, and so evident as you look at these early shots.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Precious, so nice to see this, your handwriting also so sweet.

[Allison Williams]

I guess the camera is a window to the soul. This is very poignant.

[Taffy]

Oh, how wonderful! I love this window into the early you. What a perfect entry/posting.

Love this, photos contain so many moments in life that we can easily forget. It`s neat that you found photos of something you still like to take photos of.
