MY PHOTO HUNT VOL. 8 - LIGHT



Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in.
~Leonard Cohen
I was not going to do photo hunt today. My baby is sick, running mid-grade fever. He's now sleeping on my chest, with the help of a baby carrier, which I now believe is the next best thing to slice bread! Having a sleeping baby on your chest with a baby carrier is pretty much like being pregnant, except I am on tenterhooks about him waking up. I can't do much of anything, but found out that I could actually sit down in front of my computer and type. That's why I am here.

Below, my daughter during a walk in the park. Noticed the shadow? You can't see it without the light. That's why I decided, this one would do for the theme.

Below is another example of light making things beautiful. These are the light of my life. Noticed how beautiful those leaves Fall leaves makes for a nice background. I have to take dozens of picture and come up with this. My kids are never still in sync. What a contrast it would be later on when they will actually stay still and pose for my picture.

Hi Shoshana, that's poetic and true, you cannot see the shadows without the light.... hope your baby feels better soon.

Those are perfect pictures for this theme. You have beautiful children too. They have the same type of looks like my chidren and grandchildren have. In Hawaii we call it hapa(half & half). You can see the oriental in my kids and grandkids. I think oriental, caucasians make the best looking kids, or am I partial?

Thanks for stopping by.

GoofyJ: Thank you! I hope so too...still sleeping, which is good, I think.

Ma: We call them "mestiza" in Philippines. I think it's a Spanish term, but then Philippine languages is full of them. I don't think you're partial...I think it's true myself!

East of Oregon: thank you! I hope so too.

Cindy: Thank you!

Hope the baby feels better. I think it hurts us more to see them unhappy than it hurts them.

Love the shadow picture! And your kids are adorable, still or not.

That's a great concept for light. Good choice. I like the poem too.

I hope your baby gets well soon.
