In the winter, the eye can rest. There are fewer colors, textures, and distractions from the bones of the light-painted landscape.

The Train Show–From the Kid’s Point of View

On Sunday, as promised a month ago, I was finally able to bring my nephews, ages 2 and 5, up to the Holiday Train Show. They were blown away by the experience and were predictably thrilled to see their good buddy Thomas in attendance.

What surprised me was when my older nephew, Jasper, grabbed my hand while I was snapping a picture.  Jasper pulled me down to his level and said “Annie, you’re not taking the right pictures. Can I try?” And so, with a slight hesitation, I turned over my trusty G9 to the tiny hands of my nephew.
