these children are very happy with their holidays

This was on a sunday, in Paulista Avenue. And those are my friends, being happy, and i do really love this photo 

taken end of august....final days at pool with my friends....had the pool to ourselves and we decided to do a big hat day.....

my youngest grandson playing in the rain for the first time.

Visiting my dad at his new home quite a while away from us, he doesn't see how grand kids that often. We had been trying to get our newborn, Harley to smile all week and we always missed it with the camera. However, my dad held him for the first time and his little face was beaming, smiling from ear to ear. I managed to whip my phone out and capture him smiling whilst gazing at my dad.

My two girls argue over everything. This was the easiest way for them to settle who gets it next. We were eating at a restaurant in Atlanta, Ga. It was taken on November 6, 2013.

My Grandparents were so happy to meet their great-grandson! This picture will always being meaningful because it was the last picture taken of my Grandfather. 

Editor's Note: Enjoy today's International Picture of the Day selection!

Duke, my son's 10 week old german shepherd puppy, is a camera ham! He would run a few feet, plop down, and look back at the camera. If he could talk, we are sure that he would have been saying, "Did you get this angle?"

This picture was taken at a local park. The older sister is loving the baby sister after she had fallen down.

I always anticipate the unexpected when my sister plans our family trips. This photo captures why. Still not sure how she made it all happen--just glad I had my camera. Taken in March of 2012 in Bryce Canyon, Utah.

Every fall I gather my family together to take photo's for our Christmas cards. To keep everyone happy, we all take turns posing. This was one of our favorites.

This is special to me because it is my grandson and his dog. It shows the love a boy has for his dog, even at a young age. This was taken by my daughter at her house in Castle Rock, Colorado. Pets are truly part of the family.

This picture was taken in Guangzhou, China, one week after my wife and I adopted our daughter Samantha Mae through the "Wide Horizons for Children" adoption agency. Adoption is an amazing thing...one second you're "childless" and the next you're given complete responsibility for another life...for the rest of your life. To me, this picture shows the power of unconditional love.

The first true love any girl has, is her father.

Ryleigh is such a joy to our family. A beauty with such a joyous personality. This was taken in Huntington Beach, California while her cousins were cheering her on.
