Hi
Thank you Steve so much and it was a glimpse of my childhood as well. I miss it so much.
Yes children are so innocent and inspiring. A world without children is a void
Wonderful, trying to relive.
I love children’s love of wonder and fearlessness. You have captured this beautifully.
All your posts are wonderful, but this one is pure magic. The way you capture the world around us is truly magical.
Thank you Steve ; just to see my grandchildren is such a joy after the initial joy of my own children . It’s life at the fullest !
Your pictures of the children bring out the best with the quotes
Always a joy to receive one of your emails with your photos. Always.
Thank you!
I love these photos! As a mother of a large brood I find it sad that so many today are not choosing to partake of one of life’s happiest experiences – raising children.
Every one of your posts that I have seen is thought provoking and fantastic!
