My Three

It's amazing to me to see what another person can capture through their lens.  These photos were taken by my girlfriend at her house in late February.  They are seemingly simple candid shots, but for some reason looking at them literally took my breath away.

Perhaps it's because I didn't take the shot myself and have to cajole, beg and plead for them to smile?

More likely, it's because it seems like only yesterday I was looking at this:

Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing.
