Friday Photos: A moment captured

Lately I have been taking lots of pictures of the kids. I mean I have always taken pictures of the kids, but lately it has become more of a hobby. It is so amazing how a photo becomes a piece of art, a piece of history really! It is true that you will always have your memories deep in your heart, whether it be of a loved one or your childhood for example, but pictures bring back memories that you may have never thought back on if it weren't for that picture. I have so many memories for example of my late father, all tucked away safe in my heart, but every now and then I will stumble upon a picture that reminds me of a time that I had totally forgotten about, and I will actually be so thankful that someone had taken that picture without realizing how much it would mean in the future. These pictures are our memories, they are memories to pass onto our children's children. I love to see old pictures of my parents when they were little or when my grandparents were younger. Pictures become a part of history and that is so beautiful!
