In This



In this
I see
so much—

the toddler for her balance
reaching towards her mother's knee
and finding courage in that touch.

For steadying oneself we all need others' help initially! Of course, a toddler tries to hold on to the knee of its mother and tries to stand up until it is able to stand on its own feet! A beautiful moment, well captured!

A touching image, Glen - ah, yes, both ways. And as always, you observe these moments and capture them. Thank you.

Thank you, Laurie! And this little girl was so cute! It appeared she hadn't been walking that long... The greatest is love, the love that resides in hearts of flesh, tender hearts. -Glen
