Generations

When I photograph several generations together I like to watch Mom and Dad and consider what they might be thinking as they gather with their brood, each of their children unique yet still having those family similarities. They gather their grandchildren around them - the numbers growing each year - and I think about how proud they most be that a new generation is carrying on their legacy. I wonder do they feel a sense of accomplishment, of pride or is it relief. I think it must be a little of all three.

The time when I will be gathering with my children and my children's children seems a long time away yet I know that the time will pass quickly. And while our group won't be as large, I hope it will be as close, as loving and as fun!

Enjoy!
