In the Zone

As some of you know, my grandson Sam "inherited" my point and shoot as a Christmas present. I wish you could see how proud he is of it. He makes sure it's well protected- putting it back in its case after each shot! He loves taking pictures with it. We decided a photo walk was in order so we put on our jackets and headed to the backyard where his Dad keeps his vehicles and equipment. We didn't get too far before discovering this puddle and we probably spent a good 15 minutes photographing it. It was fun to watch him look for just the right angle to catch a reflection of both the house and a nearby tree. He may be 10 but he already has a photographer's eye.

Good for you, to recognize Sam’s ability at this young age. You two will have many photo walks I know!

A magical image, full of many things to explore and a photobug who takes after his G-Mom.

Like an old proverb say`s : ``Jong geleerd is oud gedaan`` = +/- learned young is done old

@ninaganci Thank you Nina- it's particularly meaningful to me to be a part of that inspiration.

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry! I keep thinking if he sticks with this, he will be an amazing photographer by his teens.
