From Whence I Came

These are my parents standing on a gorgeous little beach we found along the shores of Lake Michigan a few days ago. They were the planners of our vacation, they showed us this beach, they were my example of a solid marriage. Their 38th anniversary is coming up in a few weeks! I am so blessed to be their daughter.
What a lovely setting and how lovely to have such great role models to look up to.

This is such a wonderful capture of your parents and a very loving tribute to them. I love that they are silhouetted surrounded by such loveliness!

What a lovely uplifting shot and your words brought a tear to my eye.

38 years... what an accomplishment that is... especially these days. Congratulations to them :)

@kwind Thanks so much for the kind words and fav, lady. Love that they posed for me. I tried to get them to kiss, but no luck!

@darsphotos I LOVED the location. It's a dream place for me and was so glad for the sparkling water. Thanks so much for the fav, sweet lady!

Thank you all for your kind comments. I love the suggestion to print and frame this for them. What a great anniversary present that would be. Thank you!

@bobfoto Awhile back you had a sparkly ocean shot that I coveted. I've wanted a sparkly water shot for months now and finally got my chance on my trip. I had to set this up and they wouldn't kiss for me, but I still like it.
August 14th, 2013  
@amandal - pity they didn't kiss... next time?
August 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto Their prudish:). Maybe. They did kiss once, but I was so close that I didn't like the shot as much. This one could have used more space, too. Oh well. I did like the sparkle and that it was my parents silhouetted.
August 14th, 2013  
@amandal - they should have kissed.
August 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto I know. Parents should know that kids like to see that (even as adults). They want to know that their parents are in love. Mine were sooooo private. At least they are still together.
August 14th, 2013  
@amandal - kudos for that!
August 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto Truly. Are yours? I had my dad take a similar shot of Michael and I, but we kissed. It's my new FB profile photo. A good one for our 13th anniversary that's next Monday. I'm looking up jumping out of a plane to celebrate. Too pricy probably.
August 14th, 2013  
@amandal - My folks are still together and they would have kissed. They love kissing each other... They got hitched I think, some 50 years ago... 1963 I think.... it's on my Dad's birthday so I remember that bit
August 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto Wow, 50 years!! Awesome. Mine are coming up on 38.
August 14th, 2013  
such an awesome and cute picture! love the fact they're holding hands and the silhouettes and shadows here!
August 14th, 2013  
@bobfoto I'll bet their affection has kept them going strong. How sweet!
August 14th, 2013  
@amandal - I think you're right.
August 14th, 2013  
What a beautiful tribute to your parents and their strong marriage - and what a truly stunning shot. You are blessed indeed!
August 15th, 2013  
Oh... and a fav from me too. :)
August 15th, 2013  
@gailmmeek Thanks so very much for that, Gail. I think that I will frame this for them for their anniversary.
August 15th, 2013  
@amandal What a wonderful idea.
August 15th, 2013  
Beautiful picture and sweet sweet tribute!!!!
