   This photo was exceptional – loved the adult and child in the left bottom third walking towards the pool in the top right third. Very very well done 😀

      Thanks Amy! You’re so right, Joubert sure is growing up in front of our eyes and hopefully he’ll cherish memories like these when he’s all grown up

       Nee wat AJ, hierdie oomblik het absoluut aan Joubert en my skoonpa, sy Oupa Piet, behoort…

    Like the way the storyline speaks in the composition and rule of thirds – that Joubert and Grandpa are walking towards the waterfall, and the path beckons them towards it.

       This is just one photo from a whole sequence of photos I took of Joubert and Oupa Piet, without them knowing. I know for granddad they’re very precious and I’m sure Joubert will treasure them just as much one day.

    Dis ‘n kosbare foto.Ek sien albei se arms en bene swaai op dieselfde tyd.Is dit so beplan of is dit toevallig?Dit gee die foto ‘n rustige simmetrie.

       Was net gelukkig dat dit so uitgewerk het Dina, ek’t die foto van omtrent 200m agter hulle afgeneem. Ons is regtig sentimenteel oor familie, ek is seker die foto sal vir Joubert nog baie wonderlike herinneringe oproep eendag oor lekker tye saam met sy Oupa

       Absolutely Joey!

       He had his first “athletics meet” yesterday evening, and how he enjoyed it! Won two of his races too, so we’re very proud parents this morning 😀
