As I pondered the many many ways I might say:
’I LOVE YOU’
I concluded that no words could possibly say it better than this.
One of a Kind
Exquisitely unique. One-of-kind. A beauty.
Such a sweet sweet face.
Both she and her mother bravely approached me.
So much trust. So much love.
I know this mother.
I’ve been photographing her since she - too - was this newborn stage.
Which then practically (doesn’t it?) makes me this one’s grandmother.
And - I wondered - how did I ever get to be this age?

I’ll be away from this space for the next few weeks…soaking in all that is summer.
Quiet Touch
Mesmerized by their gentle nuzzling…their soft caring…their quiet touch.
This summer - in their world - it’s so everyday ordinary.
In ours - this summer - it is so not.
Will we ever again enjoy a kind and endearing hug?
