You Capture-At the Park with A Nephew Edition

This week over at You Capture, Beth said it was a free for all, whatever we wanted to do. I really had no thought as to what I was going to do until Election Day when I took my brother to his local polling place to vote.

Here is A Nephew at the park near his home. My brother votes at his neighborhood rec center, and it isn't in the best of areas in our small-ish town. Sometimes I am a bit leary to break out my camera, altho each time I do local kids ask me if I work for the paper.

So on this particular day, I threw caution to the wind and simply snapped away. It was so great to capture him smile, because in so many of the photos he doesn't.

Probably my favorite shot of him that day

The Slide!

Who needs trees when I can climb on this?

His happiness at 'driving the park' makes me smile.
Happiness Confined

Happiness is always going around the curve.
