Creative Every Day/Flickr Project 365 photo for 8/31/2010:
I am loving these photos. I took them at the bus stop this morning - Emma's first day of middle school - and I kept looking back at them throughout the day. I love all the photos I took, ones with the bus, the dog, and Annie. There is just some quality in these two that kept drawing me back. I think I see a glimpse of Emma growing up here, like I can almost see it as it is happening right here in this moment that I caught on film (do we call digital photos film?). And, this glimpse didn't fill me with pain and loss and fear and gunky-gunk that change usually brings on, instead I am filled with a calm, excited, happiness. Looking at Emma as she is caught in this moment brings a sense of relaxed, contented, it-will-all-be-alrightness (I do love making up names for things).
~Just let it be~
