Photo Hunters Theme: Childhood

I chose this picture for the theme "Childhood" because it represents the pure joy that children find in everything. I snapped this picture several years ago as my mother and my nephew ran into the waves on a bright summer day. Even in adulthood my mother still has the ability to have a childlike joy in everything. It's something she and I have in common, and it's something I hope we will both always have.

  6. Childhood only ends when you chase it out of your heart! Hopefully, we all have a bit tucked away to remember and reclaim when we need that special feeling in our hustle and bustle lives. Great picture!
