The Moment


Do we remember moments from childhood? I hope this little girl never forgets this one shared with her father.

"Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows"

So true, Jilly. And the quote is perfect.

I do! I remember going to Musée des Colonies with my Dad on Sunday as a child (less than 4) and being scared by the crocodiles in the vivarium, for instance.

Even that young a child remember. Smells, magic, a quickened heartbeat.

Really a moment in time. I hope they both remember it.

Thank you, Jilly. This photo and caption made me a little misty. So gently poignant.

Bonjour Jilly,
As Abe said, I think it's a shared moment, and both will remember it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth living these beautiful moments.

For me like Virginia's images of people you do these best. You have a real affinity for people and it sshines through the images. It's a dying art capturing people naturally. Well done.
