Look Out the Window

Happy Thought

The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

From a Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

Sam watching Daddy and Gampy laying stones on the new front porch.

beautiful light on the face, and the hands are so tender. It won't be long before Sam is out their helping. Lovely soft portrait.

[D. Marie Williams More]

so full of hope

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@melorac Thank you Carole! I'd have to agree- one of the shots I will always treasure of him.
@simster Thank you Simmy!
@dmariewms Thank you Marie!

[Mrs. Smith]

Great shot! I like how you have captured the focus that he has looking outside.

[adobe waters]

ann - this is beautiful - fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@mrssmith Thank you Carla! It was fun watching him. But at first whenever I put the camera down, he'd turn and look at it! So I'd say, "Where's Daddy Sam?" in order to get him to look outside again. He thought it was a great game!
@adobewaters Thank you so much Adobe!

[bruni]

Oh my he is so cute. just about big enough to reach the window.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni Thanks Bruni- yes, well we think he's wonderful, but you as a Grandma know how hard it is to remain impartial! (o:

[Flydragon]

this is such a sweet shot...full of curiosity and anticipation!

[Julie Cortens]

Oh this is precious!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@flydragon Thank you Flydragon- it is a precious abillity of children to have that sense of curiosity and anticipation isn't it?
@cortens Thank you Julie!

[Rick Schies]

That's cute, and he is probably thinking, "I could be out there helping too..."

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@digitalrn Thanks Rick- you're probably right!!

[Allison Williams]

A timeless portrait. I'll bet there were days in the long ago that his daddy and his grandfather looked just like that.

[PamSnaps1]

How precious!

[PamSnaps1]

Hi Ann, please pray for me tomorrow. I am applying for a new apartment that I really really want with less than perfect credit. I have to move by November 30th! It is so hard to concentrate on school or anything these days.... I love your photos of children!

[Nicole Campbell]

Wonderful in black and white

[Michael Elliott]

This is a precious capture. You did great shooting this.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allie912 Thanks Allison- yes he does have moments when he looks very much like Erick did, and also like my father did. We love it when that happens because he is named after Dad (middle name).
@potsbypam Thanks Pam! I'll be praying for you!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole!
@michaelelliott Thank you so much Michael!

I love this photo, he really seems so intent. And love the verse:-) Robert Louis Stevensons A Child's Garden of verses is my children's all time favorite (along with A.A. Milne with "Now we are six")

[Bonnie Lusted]

Lovely shot and works so well in B&W.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@candymomx5 I have that one too!! Vespers-an all-time Milne favorite! Thanks for the view and comment cmx5!
@kloud Thanks Bonnie! It was a moment that cried out for b&w, but I took it in color as well.

[Terry]

beautiful shot of this little one.

[Carole Imes]

The poem (one of my faves) fits beautifully with the shot of this sweet little guy. Terrific b & w shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole!
