Today is W’s birthday, so I’m posting one of my favorite photos taken by him, without his recently expressed permission. Awhile ago he said to post it if I’d like, but since I prefer to stick to my own stuff, I passed. However, I like this photo so much, I thought now might be a good time to show it off. Photographed on the banks of the Potomac River in Old Town Alexandria, while on one of Lucy’s walks, W doesn’t think it’s anything special, but I disagree. I love the blanket’s splash of color in the otherwise bleak surroundings, and although you can’t see their faces, I imagine that the unsuspecting couple is happy and relaxed, having no worries other than, “Where’s that book I thought I brought?” or “Where shall we go later for lunch?” And not that I know much, if anything, about composition, but it does appear that W, intentionally or not, followed the rule of thirds, and in my opinion, it worked out pretty well.

*Ahem* Notice that I posted my favorite for his birthday. Well, here’s a photo that W might like much better…Lucy, singing Happy Birthday, I imagine…

Much love to you, W, from me and Lucy.
