"This Moment"...Oh, how it could mean so many things.  Over the past two weeks, I have lugged my "big" camera with me everywhere in an attempt to capture the here and now as in "This Moment" in our lives.  And now, I'll be honest, I'm ready to put my camera down!  Let's face it, toting a very energetic two year old around is tough enough even without the camera but when you add that, a diaper bag, and purse to the mix, my arms are full!  But now, looking back at some of these images, I'm so glad that I have them, especially these of my big girl.  You see, she started ice skating lessons a few weeks ago and has totally fallen in love with it, as in hook, line and sinker.  You can tell, when she is on the ice, she is completely in her element.  So, I thought I wanted capture this time in this weeks Focus at Click of the Wild. 

This first image is the one I chose to go with in the end.  On this particular day, we got to the rink a little early which allowed us to watch some of the more advanced skaters on Ithe ice as they were practicing.  Truly, it is amazing to see some of the talent that some of these kids have.  They are so graceful gliding across the ice and they make spinning in the air look as easy as tying their shoes.  To me, this picture says so much with her facial expressions alone...I can tell what she is thinking just by what was captured in this candid moment.

And we'll bring an end to this post like the sun going down behind the trees in this picture.  Here, my girl in one of her many cartwheels that she's done while we were out enjoying this past Sunday afternoon!   DSC_1856e
