What a perfect clip out of time.
12.
Such a sound number.
The end of one journey
and the beginning of another.
Someone will treasure that
photo forever.

Superb picture.
There was always something very special about messing around next to water. The fish, insects and fascinating alien life-forms engendered a real sense of wonder and adventure. Your picture evokes it perfectly.

What a wonderful reflection shot, Susan! You really know how to use that camera.

Unknown said...

i love that he is looking.

and being 12, it is most probably not at himself and this is what life is about, is it not?

Michelle DeRusha said...

Ah 12 -- ain't it great? Lovely, lovely photo, Susan.
