God Bless The Child

God Bless The Child

One of my twins in front of the same building as seen in another one of my pictures titled, “Hideaway”. Considering the colors, I was trying to get a happy shot. However, he was upset because he wanted to go take pictures of a baby gopher with his own camera. I told him to just act as he felt and snapped this shot. Well, that is, after he said “This is the last one, Mom. Then I’m done”. Sometimes you have to let them call the shots. ;)

    excellent composition, heart wrenching scene

  • Crystal Williams replied

    Thanks so much J.D.. I agree. Even though it’s my son and I know he’s not actually hurting, just a little sad, it literally makes me tear up if I imagine just being a passerby. Funny how a picture can do that sometimes.

    Thanks for adding it. I’m happy you enjoy it. :)
