Project 365 d-110

     Today found me and my youngest wandering around the marina in a small town near where I live. My oldest daughter was at softball practice, so we went on a photo adventure. Her slender hand reached up to snuggle into mine as we walked in the warm sunshine. The smells of life were everywhere. The smell of the fresh Spring air, the blooming flowers, the dusty trail we were on, and even the odor of stagnant muddy water permeated the air.

     After walking for a while, she suddenly let go of my hand to dart after a Dandelion that had lost it's color and was poised to send it's seeds into the wild at the first hint of a strong breeze. I told her to make a wish. "What do I wish for Daddy"?, she said with a grin. "Whatever you want to come true honey", I answered back. She was standing near the water and time seemed to slow as she began to inhale in preparation of sending her wish forth. I raised my camera just as she began to blow with all her might. Magic little wishes lifted off from their host and pirouetted into the breeze. She has been through a lot with her accidents and maybe she was wishing for her scar to go away, or just no more stitches for a long time. As tender as her heart is; I suspect she was wishing good things for those who are worse off then she is. She is pure and innocent and I only share this photo with you because it tells a story. She is my little wish come true.

Happy Shooting.
