I’m referring to childhood, of course …
This little chair was given to my husband when he was a little boy by his mom and dad. His nephew sat in it and then my daughter and my son and now my grandson. How quickly the days of childhood fly away … to those of you with young ones in your lives, treasure every moment … every bump and bruise, every bright moment of wonder, every smile, every tear!! So soon gone!!

The image of the chair and of the butterfly were taken with the Nikon D40x. They were combined in Photoshop with textures from CG Textures and Skeletalmess.

Hi Rany!!!! Thank you!!!!! This little chair is so well made … I can easily sit on it now without fear for its life, lol!!!! Took the original image about a year or more ago and could never quite figure out how to showcase it. Thank heavens for great textures and butterfly shots, lol!!!!!!
