They just finished Sunday morning session of football coaching and wanted a way to release all their pent up energy. A fantastic way of doing that was to challenge each other in simple physical games like this high jump over a friend. Don’t you wish you could be a child again?

This photo demonstrates the beautiful bond a person can create with an animal, this is my boyfriend and my pony, he was originally apprehensive around horses but they have built a friendship together. This photo shows the gentle nature of the horse. Taken at my home in Lincolnshire.

This was taken at St. George Island state park in FL, June. My daughter caught this little guy & wanted to send him back into the water with a kiss!

This picture is special to me because it is almost father's day and that is my father sitting with my brother.

Taken at a Beach in Katwijk, Holland. Young person has been fascinated entirely around the range event.

This photo was taken , hot day in Toronto. She enjoyed a lot in little cool breeze..

Had a splash celebrating my granddaughter, Coraline’s, first birthday at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead, NY.  Her brother, Jameson, showed her the best places to to view all the sea life as they swam around the huge tank. It was a great place for a birthday celebration! 

This picture was made in Italy (Abruzzo) in July. We went there for the holidays. This is my daughter Valerie. She is 6 years old and she learned to swim this past winter. Now she swims like a fish and enjoys it very much.

I was taking a picture of my Grandson and our cat jumped in unexpectedly. 

This photo comes from Georgia, where we know how to grow watermelons. Our 1 year old loved sitting for this photo--we were having a record breaking heatwave.

I took this photo just at sunset at the Florida State Fair.

This is my favorite pinhole photo I've shot. It pulls in all the elements I love about pinhole...muted, yet infinite focus, vignette, motion blur and stretching corners. And the subject is my daughter, which moves it from "pretty good" to "pretty perfect" for me. I shot it in May, 2013 while on holiday in Amelia Island, Florida. It encapsulates all that I love, my family, pinhole photography, and travel.

This is a picture of my daughter doing the "Nestea Plunge" in our pool. It is a beautiful picture that represents childhood summer fun!

This is my son. It was over 100 degrees that day, and he was cooling off by riding his motocross bike through the mud. He had so much fun covered in all that mud!

The Seattle Center Fountain is our kids favorite place to cool off.  Everybody seems to cool off in the Seattle Center Fountain on a hot sunny afternoon.

Emily and Olivia are 5 year old twin sister who love to play in the water bit wait do chores.. unless we make rhise chores fun and exciting like having them wash their bikes with hose or perhaps each other!

Against the setting sun, a skilled surfer creates a golden wave pattern.

A rare hot day in upstate N.Y. -- and both of the kids needed to cool off!

Ice cream with friends is always the best.

My girls playing in the pond at Nana's house.

My daughter received the rain gear for her birthday and couldn't wait to use it. She was so excited to finally get the chance! 

A father and son day out has been forever captured with this amazing shot. Summer sunsets are amazing, especially at the most southern tip of Ontario: Point Peter

This was taken on the Manhattan Bridge, July 2011 - while walking on a breezy evening, viewfinder and shutter driven. Alicia's smile has quite an effect on me. She reminds me how beautiful thoughts can be in New York, and why I came here in the first place.

I'm a film photographer, recently I bought a 30mm for my medium format camera and this was the very first frame.  The lens is so huge that my 1-year-old was fascinated by it. I was able to capture a frame of her at her most inquisitive. She NEVER sits still so this is a rare and special picture for me. I see in this one frame all the excitement and intrigue of her youth.
