My dad already gave a brief introduction to this marvellous weekend. Of course, he forgot to mention the more essential parts. It was my first trip abroad!!! Upon arrival, there was a whole new territory for me to explore - how exciting. Eileen showed me her little garden house her grandfather had built for her and said "Feel at home!" I took this a bit too literally and redesigned the interior by removing everything that was inside. Now there was room to move :smile: (70-200VR) - you see, I already understand all this tech stuff. There were swamps for Mom and Dad but I prefer the little creeks to play in ... (45/2.8 P) ... or to have a stroll through the dark forests. Fortunately, there weren't any trolls around, ... (45/2.8 P) ... only friendly animals (70-200V) View attachment 101166 That big river was very tempting. I would have dearly liked to jump in but Mom took care I didn't ... (70-200VR) .. something I could not agree on because a rafting tour over these fine cataracts a bit further downstream would have been lot of fun. (12-24 DX) View attachment 101168 Being out in the wild for such a long time makes hungry. The maternal catering service worked perfectly so I decided to have a little picnic in a small forest glade. (70-200VR) And, there's nothing against a little afternoon nap. (70-200VR) While I was asleep, Dad made a shooting with model Eileen. Wait till I am old enough :biggrin: (45/2.8 P) View attachment 101171 View attachment 101172 On the evening of the last day, Dad borrowed a lens from Michael, something like a 105 DC or so. He told me something about the special rendition in portraits but I don't care as long as I look good. Now that I see the results I have to admit it would be nice if he got that lens for himself (although I know that Mom would not be happy about another piece of glass). Anyway, I never knew that I am so pretty (or do the credits go to that lens?). (105/2 DC) Dad obviously liked that lens very much, that's why I forgave him when he, for a change, captured Mom instead of me. I hope you enjoyed my little travelogue. (disregard the sig - I have written that all by myself)
Seems such a shot time ago these beautiful children had come into the world wow how time flys. All super images of the beautiful Ladys:>)
Beautiful set. She's so lovely. It seems like not too long ago when you showed us her photos when she was born. Time flies.
Harry, these are wonderful. I loved your travelogue through Nadja's eyes. She's getting to be quite the young lady. You and Michael may be bad influences on each other. I remember how you tortured me with all your wonderful glass! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Virginia aka beaucamera BTW, Now, I guess you'll have to build Nadja a playhouse too.
What a lovely post, Nadja! It was a real experience spending these nice days with you and your Parents. :biggrin: BTW: I think I've discovered why your Daddy experiences his "decreasing" hairstyle..... Please wait for it to fully load!
What a great gif(t) for Harry on Father's Day! A special Happy Father's Day to you too! Virginia aka beaucamera
That gif is sensational - reflects a normal situation in a father-daughter relationship :wink: Cheers
Oh dear Harry, you are going to have a big problem when Nadja reaches her teens. She is beautiful, her parents are pretty good as well. Pam
I have watched the interaction between father and daughter for ages and it takes me back 41 years to when my own 1.1/2 year old daughter used to do the same to me. There is something wonderful about witnessing/experiencing the unconditional love that a child will give to a parent, and sometimes one forgets and therefore needs reminding again. This hits that spot with a vengence. I can hear her squealing out with joy.:smile::smile: Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, my daddy's the man. Bake me a cake as fast as you can. Prick it and pat it and fill it with love. As I am a present from heaven above. LOL Bob and Pam
