Wordless Wednesday: Run Dash Run!


The long-awaited day dawns sunny and clear - Senior School Cross Country.
Dash is hoping for a Top-Ten finish, so he can go to Inter-School competitions...
In training he was the fastest in his class.




They're off! Mummy is so excited she can't focus the camera. Gah.
A longer course, a bigger field of runners...


The drooping shoulders say it all.



Of course he's disappointed. I wait for a storm of tears... which doesn't come. Instead...


My boy is growing up.

This was SUCH a moving post!! How inspiring! He is going to go so far in life with that attitude. Yes, be disappointed but smile and try harder next time. You must be one proud mama!!

I think Dash and Little Man would be fast friends. Have I mentioned that he loves to run? Just yesterday he was out having me time his mile. lol. And he is obssessed with soccer.

Always love stopping by. I love your inspirational posts, your fun collages, and your perspective as a photographer. And that last photos is my fav! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love when a sequence of photos tells a story, and I especially love the collage one, could you share what program you used to create it?

All of your pictures are absolutely beautiful- and the finishing touches you put on there is the icing on the cake.

Really nice work!
