Joy! by happypat

Joy!

Raglan beach this time & Max loved dodging the waves!

I miss that little boy!

Most say better viewed large...you can see the tongue better!

Three good things:
1. Been to a funeral so just being alive!
2. Snowdrops coming up on dear old Jenny's grave.
3. Lovely cold crisp evening with no wind.
Oh to be young. I think your picture says it all. :)

This is so lovely Pat. He's gorgeous and his expression is wonderful but the backdrop and especially the lighting are beautiful too.

What a fabulous expression and nice composition

Sheer joy on that face! Love the tongue. Nice composition here, Pat. Looks like you have been on a holiday. I'm attempting a come-back and so pleased to see so many of my old friends still at it. I have missed this community so much. I just posted this question for Peggy - now I'll ask you - what is the back story on the Three Good Things?

That shot says it all!! What a wonderful capture, bless him, and as you say wonderful to be alive!!

Love the delight on his face.

I've viewed large because the look on his face is enough to make you realise the joys of being alive!

@barbsmith Hi Barb, the three good things was something@wr1ghty started last year to remind herself of the blessings in life & a number of us took the idea up( although sometimes a struggle to think of any if you've had a bad day) Sometimes the simplest of things remind us how lucky we are!! Love your comments about dear little Max!
