Unexpected

You know it was one of those afternoons... Samara was blowing, blowing bubbles and Landon was just spellbound by it. Bubbles. You gotta love 'em.



Cuteness.



He even popped one himself...



But this, well this, I wasn't expecting. It is a rare and humbling moment when the photos you upload to your computer show something you didn't even see. His little head on her lap. Blue eyes on blue dress. Sweet whispers. Tiny fingers. Pointing at the magic of a sphere of suddy water. Good gosh, I love these two. I love this photo. I love my camera and that not-sure-how-it-is-real millisecond for giving me this gift today.

People always ask me...

Which camera is the best? The answer, always, is the one you have with you.

This shot was taken on my iPhone 3G. Once a year, we pick a sunny day, usually a week or two after our inspection sticker has expired (oops) to go and get the car checked at Gibbs Service Station in Swampscott. I take the kiddos (okay, the kid singular until this year) to walk the beaches there for a change. And every year I say we'll come back here more. I love the smell of the boats and dock there, the open skyline, view of our favorite little big city, the hidden paths, ramps and shadows. I guess the one good thing about me illegally driving my car for a few days every year while I put off this must-do is that our December inspection anniversary has become a March one, and one day, if I keep up my scatterbrainedness, we might get to enjoy this hidden gem without the goosebumps.
