I think it is one of the great challenges of modern, urban parenting to find ways to teach kids to deal with, even enjoy, quiet time and to seek out contemplative moments. It scares me to think how hard it is to get moments like these for our kids.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, how come all of your pictures are so over-the-top gorgeous? I hope you've got stacks of cheesy snapshots and people with their eyes closed and blurry shots somewhere that you're simply choosing not to share with us. Because I am jealous of your photos.Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1117824074915965902005-06-03T14:41:00.000-04:002005-06-03T14:41:00.000-04:00This is really a wonderful photo.
