Along our walking path, on 30th St., is a tetherball set up on the corner. We can never pass the tetherball without spending some time playing. This is our granddaughter, Madeleine, enjoying a few moments of tetherball.

Just checking Socks OK After I put the socks on Madeleine thought she ought to double check just to make sure grandpa didn’t mess up the color scheme of the socks.

Before I post some of the images I took in Portland last week I thought I would share this one of our granddaughter. She is a great subject to shoot. Madeleine

Large Lens, Painting or ?

Our grandaughter, Madeleine, standing behind a large lens on the playground set at Lincoln Park, near our home. This image, on one level, looks like a very old photo or painting hanging on a wall. Well, maybe my imagination is getting the better of me? What do you see?

Looking towards the Future.

On April 10, 2009 By Fred KingIn childhood, Madeleine, portrait2 Comments

This morning I attended the funeral of a childhood acquaintance. In an attempt to move my thoughts, from the sadness of that loss to the future, I thought I would post this photo of our granddaughter, Madeleine. Viewing life from the perspective of a child, looking forward with great promise, helps shift my thoughts from the past/present to the future.
