He makes my heart swell

My grandson is full of energy and life! It is so hard to get him to sit still long enough for a photo.  Trains are one of his passions though so it worked in my favor. . . momentarily.

I get lots of goofy grins or closed eyes - that's his idea of a great pose, lol. Check out the dirt on his knee. I chased him all over the place trying to get a few decent shots, then I gave up and took what I could get.

This is Twister at age 3, and that's exactly what I'll tell 10 year old Twister when he asks me why he has funny faces in all his toddler photos.

Apparently, he has an affection for huge rocks too.  Can you see the orneriness in that face?!

At least he slows down long enough to enjoy the dandelions.  This was near the end of our time in the park, can you see all the yellow on his shirt?  That's from rolling in the yellow dandelions, he had the pollen all over him, lol.
I could use a little joy today, this, my 4 year survivor anniversary, it will be a full day - seeing the oncologist this afternoon and getting my 4th butterfly tonight - but the joy this boy brings to my heart can wash away my worries and fears.

  13. He looks like a real pistol. You'll have to fill me in on how you capture this guy so well so I can start working on the technique.

  14. Oh what wonderful shots, a little charmer you have there, and I bet he keeps his parents busy!
    And you, yes, I hope all your worries and fears have been washed away...
