My Young'uns
I have avoided introducing you to my young'uns, because... well, I guess to protect their privacy. But it's about time you met them, so today is their big coming out party. Sort of.
This is Paul, the artist. He's taking a photo of the water dripping from this bamboo fountain. When we go photographing, Paul is always in some strange place in a weird position, grabbing a photo that no one else would think of getting. He took this shot that I posted awhile back. He and a friend broke up an old television and then Paul took photos of the results.
Paul and I see life in much the same way - except I don't find the unique photo opportunities that draw him instinctively. He knows a lot about the bigger picture for being such a young twerp.
One of the things I most admire about him: I have never heard him say a negative thing about anyone in his life (but I know he doesn't think too highly of W).
Here is Jamie (with me). She lives in California with her hubby. Five years ago, they moved there with the intentions of coming back in three years. Right. Now they're building a home, nesting, never coming back. I knew it would happen! I am bound by a pinky swear to not tell you her profession, but I'll tell you one thing: I'm very proud of the great work she does.
One of the things that I most admire about her: She has made a big difference in the lives of numerous children during her almost 30 years on this earth.
Young people like these - and many others that I've met - give me hope.

Thank you, Carol, for introducing Paul and Jamie. They must be fantastic human beings! With a mom such as you, how could they not be?
Thanks Nick! But I think they did it on their own - in spite of me!
Thanks for sharing- it sounds like you raised a couple of good ones!
Thomas,
Tell me why I lose so many comments that I think I've posted!!! Arggghhh!
If the original one I THOUGHT I posted shows up at some point, well then... Who cares???
Anyway, thanks for your words. I DO have a couple of good ones. But I didn't introduce you to the other one....
Kidding...
Carol- Nice to meet your children. I loved your sons photos. I don't know how your children could be anything but wonderful w/a mother like you.
Thanks Mary! It's about time you guys met, seeing how I got to meet yours awhile back.
