It's of my daughter (11 months old)...she's started smiling for the camera, and has the goofiest cheesy grin on her face. Her hair is up in a Pebbles (from the flinstones) style, and she's holding her favorite toy. She just looks so happy in it.

My current favourite photo is a picture of my 6 year old daughter who had just lost her first tooth. She was beyond excited for the tooth fairy to visit and her toothless grin makes me smile.

my favorite pic. is not my best...but it just says SUMMER and BUDDIES to me. my 3 yr old son is sitting next to my godson on his 6th bday. my son is being licked (and smiling b/c of it) by a dog you can barely see, my godson is looking straight at the camera, teeth missing like only a 6 yr old's can, and on the other side of him is his sister with a smile so big her chewing gum is visible. it was the first day of summer and they are sitting in the doorway, having just polished off a bag of sweet 16 doughnuts (the perfect birthday breakfast, right!?) and are ready to jump into the pool behind me. behind them, and out of the picture, is another sweet old dog, sallie, a black lab, laying on her cushion. it would be her last summer....and though you cannot see her i will always remember that she was there and those 3 little monkeys were lovin' on her that, as always.

My current favorite photo is one I just discovered in an old box that had belonged to my father. It is a picture of my grandfather and I. I was about four at the time and am now 61.
What drew me most to the picture was how amazingly alike my father and grandfather looked in their elder years. The other thing that rocked me was that I could look at the picture and smell my grandmother's wood soap from memory. Terrific!

My favorite photo is of my nephew blowing on an old dandelion. He was concentrating so hard and unaware of everything around him. And printing it in Black and White made it even more precious.

My current favorite photo is one of my daughter who is 6 at a swim meet. I took it from the opposite side of the pool and she is standing on the starting block. You can see the team banner that goes across the pool. And the empty pool lanes waiting for her arrival :) I love it!!

I have 2 actually. One is of me and Dad. He is wearing a cowboy hat and laughing with pure joy as I am giving him a big toddler kiss on the cheek in front of a waterfall at Yellowstone park. The colors are so 1970 and I love that my Mom captured the pure joy of the moment.
The 2nd is from Saturday where my children are laying handpicked wildflowers on my Dad's grave. I know it sounds a bit morbid, but it was such a glorious spring day in Texas and the service was as close to perfect as you can get to a final goodbye. It brought us all peace.
