IHF: Innocent Wonder photo challenge

"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in."
-Rachel Carson

Sometimes I think that if you looked inside of a four year old's brain you'd see a big question mark. Who, why, what? They're little scientists, asking questions to try to make sense of the world. In our busy day to day lives, the questions don't get the right answers. We often say, "I don't know" or "because that's how God made it." When did we get too busy to wonder such questions and search for answers? As adults, we now have the ability to search for answers to all the questions we have. But the only question we worry about is "what's for dinner?" Did we grow up too much? Is there such a thing? My son has helped me to rediscover the joy in bubbles and little green worms and cardboard boxes through his innocence and wonder. And to appreciate the reoccurring miracle of constant growth.

IHF: Best face photo of 2010

This year has been great for me. It's my first year really embracing photography and practicing and learning and getting my first DSLR. This photo I chose wasn't taken with my SLR camera, but it's my favorite face photo of 2010.

He'll be my favorite face for any year. :) Happy 2011!
