This picture is special to me because it portrays the purpose of my life: to bear light and spread it among the inhabitants of Earth. I took this picture during a road trip in central Washington a few weeks ago.

This is a picture of my daughter, Emily. She was all dressed up for Easter Sunday, and it was raining. She was eager to go outside, and I captured this moment as she looked out the window.

Image taken of grandaughter's reaction to her first Easter basket! Taken this year (2013)

This photo is an outtake from me trying to take my kids Easter photos. They were having a great time just being silly. I especially love the way my son is looking at his big sister. The bond between them is something special.

We recently visited my parents for a short vacation and took my children to the beach in Corpus Christi. This picture shows how excited my kids were at experiencing something new--chasing the waves back to the ocean; feeding the seagulls; building sandcastles. This was a FABULOUS day for all of us, and the sandy mess in the car--not a problem. It didn't bother me in the least because we were all (my parents and children and myself) had an unforgettable day at the beach!

Having fun making a Easter card.

This picture is special for me because this is the most beatiful view i have ever see and it happened in my best vacation. It was taken a month ago in Montenegro mountains near Lovcen park. It is a beautiful sunset in a very beutiful park.

For a few days in April and May when the moon is full it hits the mist from Lower Yosemite Fall and creates an rainbow, see stars above the falls. This phenomenon only occurs regularly in 4 areas in the world (Cumberland Ky, Yosemite CA, Victoria Falls Zambia and in Costa Rica)

My husband Grant (no:252) is pictured here, finally making it into the pack - after always coming last, or nearly last - he's trained and practiced so hard this year, not just with the bike, but fitness training, weightloss and nutrition - and I'm very proud to see him succeed finally. He's 51 this year and has no intention of slowing down. It was taken in Bega, NSW on Sunday 27th April 2014. It fits into 'Event' as it's a moment in time when he's been captured succeeding at something he loves.

Overlooking Lake Cushman. 

Children from myanmar are playing on the road side.

Megan is five. Jake is five. Jake walked before Megan. Megan learned how to walk by following Jake. Jake learned how to give a paw, Megan learned how to blow a kiss. Jake learned how to bark, Megan learned how to say Mommy. Jake never learned how to brush his hair, so Megan did it for him for Nanny's 77th birthday bash. Megan and Jake are best buds.

' my little bakers ' 

when you have mom and dad as chefs .. got to start them young :) 

I took this photo in April 2007, and it means a lot to me. It relates to the theme because it is a photo of Lila at 11 months old.

My son overlooking Macchu Picchu mountain in Peru. He appears "On top of the world". It was a once in a life time trip my son to a mystic site.

While walking along in Beijing, China I saw Chinese citizens playing checkers. Both players were intent on winning. I could feel the tension in the game. Photo taken in Beijing, China in October 2013.

I love how this picture captures the playfulness and dizziness of growing up. It was taken in Japan, late April of 2005. It feels like childhood, and captures a special moment with my family.

Two friends enjoying their walk through the covered bridge. 

This is my daughter at the park near our house. We are enjoying the spring like weather that came a few weeks early. 

I'm a stay at home mom and have never taken a photography class, but I love capturing those little moments of my children playing with the beauty of nature. I took this photo last April on a horse trail in southern California. I am so grateful I will always have this photo to look back on whenever I want to relive the smells of that afternoon...

Isaiah is a TDI Therapy Dog. Joke is that he won't need me to bring him to his Volunteer work when he learns to drive. Taken recently near Schuylerville, NY. He is also my beloved pet.

As the sun rose on the Moroccan desert, we hiked to the top of the dunes. As we got the the top, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the point and shoot, and snapped one of the most spontaneous shots I have ever taken. The result was this unexpected shot.

The connection between a child and a parent is fading more and more in a time where everybody is so busy, and especially in a city like London that never stops. This Photograph represent that sweet time that a kid have when the mum is around him, it shows happiness and human connection. It was taken in a little french cafe in Clapham North in a sunny spring day. I guess the subject itself strictly relates to the theme.

I took this photo of my daughter & son at Jones Beach on Long Island. I thought it captured a sweet moment between siblings & the joy/novelty of being at the beach in April (after a long western NY winter).
