Oh my Gosh! What a sweet, sweet capture! I love it when they see things for the first time, especially ones we take for granted. :)

Thank you! He was just learning how to sit and was about to topple over when I took this picture! But, he really was fascinated by this butterfly (a rather sluggish one I might add) and I have way too many pictures of their interaction. Typical grandma.

This is FABULOUS! i can’t believe more people haven’t commented on this one. The only way it could be better is if just a bit more of his face showed, but i like it just like this.
Karen Helgesen, 2 months ago

Thank you! Actually he was about to topple over when I took this picture!

So wonderful! I love his big ole baby head peering over the teeny butterfly! LOLOL!!!
Karen Helgesen, 28 days ago

thank you! I’m surprised the butterfly hung around as long as he did….I have several photos of them together!

Oh this is so sweet! In fact, I like it precisely as it is, because (seeing only the big head of somebody leaning to his subjects, deeply involved in an important research!) it’s a sort of (very lovely!) caricature of curiosity… :) So well done, Karen!

Thank you! I love to try and capture those magical moments…having a grandchild is so sweet! Now, I rarely catch his face because he is deeply involved in the important research regarding dirt and all those things associated with it ( trucks, digger trucks, diesel trucks, bulldozers, front end loaders, etc.)
Lenka, 19 days ago

Oh yes, I know the importance of this research, being a mom to a daughter (4y) and a son (2y) who are big researchers, too. Our garden is full of branches taken from the whole neighbourhood, and our garage would be the next if I wouldn’t stop them ;)

Thank you very much!

This photo is so fun that I’m just sitting here grinning at the screen like a maniac. I love this! I love the full concentration, and now that you’ve said he’s about to topple over, I can just about see that happening. It’s a great moment to capture. :-)

Thank you so much! They are adorable, especially when they are your grandchildren!

I can’t wait for my grandchildren…but alas…careers and financial security delay the process…~(;>(
