Pulling away from nature images for a moment...
This is our almost 7 month old grandson. The photo came about quite by accident. I was taking pictures of him and unexpectedly noticed that the book he was looking at had a mirror page and that his face was so nicely reflecting from it. Well, not being one to miss an opportunity, I kept firing away. I think he'll like this one to look back on when he is older. Meanwhile, it's going to look good on one of our walls!

This is certainly a very different baby pic. And the text in the book just perfects it! Good work!!

Thank you, Hans! Methinks you may be the only baby admirer on the site thus far...

Great one Geoff! I agree with Hans that the text in the book is a great addition too. I love baby/kid candids. Watch out, so quickly you'll soon be capturing him playing soccer like Mark does with Ellen.

This is just simple excellent and perfect, Geoff! Ya don't get many shots like this in your lifetime!

Hey, a few more baby admirers got flushed out! Thanks!!
Mark, you are so right. These are few and far between. Two of my grandchildren live across the country and we don't get to see them very often. This one is close and I am so thankful for that.
Sean, they sure do grow up fast. It seems like only yesterday that my own were at this stage. Oh well, now I (almost) get to experience it all over again. I think this one might want to be a soccer player (just a guess). I intend to get him into photography too.
