bright sunshine
fresh springtime grass
a west texas breeze
a playground
the girls i love most
perfection
as a last minute outing while we were visiting abilene a few weeks ago, we decided to stop at a playground to blow bubbles with leighton. we ended up at austin, which is where both my mom & i went to elementary school. there is still something overly sentimental that makes me smile to think of my mom as a little girl & myself as a little girl & my own little girl playing in the same place.
my parents gave me a zoom lens for my camera for my 28th birthday and so we had it on hand to catch leighton's reactions. she was nonplussed about bubbles, delighted by grass, unsure about the slide and joyful to be held and tickled in the afternoon shade. mom kept snapping pictures while we were playing, and somehow the images she caught absolutely captured the magic of that afternoon.
i LOVE these pictures. they remind me to be GRATEFUL for all of life's MIRACLES--big and small.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is." --Albert Einstein
