Wordless Wednesday

a little boy gazes at a feather in his hand at arms length

I was moving some files from an old computer to a new one last week when I came across this picture. I don't remember where it came from but I found it striking at the time... and still do.

That's an absolutely fabulous picture. I agree.

Oh, and thanks for straightening out my punctuation. Can you tell I wrote that really fast and didn't really double check anything? Yup. And of course YOU found the mistakes!

is that a picture of you? It is a good moment captured in time.

That picture says so much to me! She will protect that which needs protecting. Great picture.

Rita said...

Love it! Captures wonder, innocence, curiosity, and new grasping skills all at once. :):)

Whew ... looks like that feather had already been through the ringer before the baby starting staring it down in rebuke.

that is an awesome picture; it speaks volumes without any words attached to it. I always wonder what babies/toddlers are thinking especially as they discover and learn new things about this world. I'm glad you posted this picture, Iggy, gives us lots to think about and ponder on this last day of March (how did that happen? these days are speeding by :)

hope the day is a good one

ahhh I love baby pics. They are naturally photogenic .... and it is such a pretty thing to capture.

Melissa said...

The baby seems to be in deep thought..."To lick the feather or not to lick feather. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind..."

I could see how this would impact you. It draws you in.

He seems very focused on that feather.

Pamela said...

you can tell the feather has been in the baby's mouth. aaaauck! (I'm a bird lover, but that is just yuck! ha ha!)

What a beautiful photo. Could you imagine what could have been done with it if it was in color? You know what I'm talkin about...
