I have to admit that when I saw this week’s challenge theme, I immediately thought of this series of photos I took about 30 years ago of my mother reading a story book to my niece.

How does one photo allude to a story line, an interaction, a web of relationships or events? I think one element might be action, another context. Perhaps the picture begs a question and sends you in search of an explanation.

Love your mother and niece.
Both are so engrossed.
Beech crawling is funny!
Thank you – reading to a child is such an intimate activity. 🙂
Love the facial expressions captured with your mama. And great… now I am going to wonder what the heck those beach folks are doing. lol. My guess is students as well.
Thanks, Donna! Curious minds must hypothesize… 🙂
Oh my goodness Priscilla, the family resemblance between your mother and niece is amazing! A wonderful story for us this week.
Thanks, Tina. 🙂
Smiles on the series of shots of your mother reading a storybook to your niece. Children love to listen to stories.
They certainly do! 🙂
Lovely stories and memories, Priscilla. I especially loved the child painting with his tongue sticking out. It must be universal! Our son did that, too. And the students on the beach…priceless!
Thanks, Patti! I remember being chastised at a ballet class recital for having my tongue sticking out in concentration. 🙂
The little boy deep in thought, evidenced by his tongue, is adorable.
Isn’t he, thought? I took a few, and he never realized his tongue was out. 🙂
❤
I love the images of your mom reading the story to your niece. Priceless.
Thanks. I’m really glad to have that sweet memory on film. I miss my mom. ❤
I miss my mom too. That means we had great relationships and love.
