Beautiful image and such great words! This is why we work so hard at capturing the moment just right!!
That’s so true, Cathy. We relive these tiny instants as we edit them and as we enjoy them over and over.
Blessed Dorthea Lange. Isn’t it great to take a photo like this.
Yes, Sally. It was so fun!
So beautiful. I feel a calmness looking at this.
