when time has changed it all
when I am old and gray
i want you to remember
i want you to remember
the sunshine on your back
the grass beneath your toes
i want you to remember
the giggles and the fun
the swing goes high and low
i want you to remember
the sprawling yard before you
the endless hours spent in flight
i want you to remember
the scent of wild onions
the glorious gift of sight
i want you to remember
following the footsteps of your brother
how i love to watch you smile
i want you to remember
the wind against your hair and face
how I adored and watched you all the while
when time has changed it all
when childhood ceases to endure
i want you to remember
how i knew you'd always soar.
We started out with the tripod and my Sigma 30mm lens and the remote. But Shawn arrived home before we finished and he was able to do a little session with us playing on the swings - a current favorite of hers. I think he did a mighty fine job, don't you think?
See the discarded tripod?
Oh, how I adore her smile.
I do not do my Project 26 in isolation. A wonderful circle of women photographers has banded together. Check out my awesome Kiwi friend, Gail Pomare, and her creative take on me and mine. I am so grateful for photography and the connections I've made through it. I would never have otherwise met and formed friendships with Gail, Jayme, Ginger, Krista and all the others!
