I happen to love a good silhouette photo and I was going to try and capture something again a sunset for a future blog post.   Well I was sitting on my loveseat about to play Old Maid with my little guy, Dan, when I noticed the very thing I wanted to capture.      There was my little guy setting up to play a card game with his mom and VOILA, there is my blog photo today!

Typically I am searching for gorgeous light and enough of it to capture a gorgeous image.   Today, less light gave me this image, a beautiful silhouette of my son Dan.     Nothing special about this photograph such as a gorgeous tree or even a cool pose, but for me it is a treasure because the silhouette image is priceless.

I will always be able to look at this photo and know that this silhouette is my son.   From the shape of his head, his mouth, tiny nose and little arms.    My son's silhouette is well imprinted in my brain, now I have a photo of it!   One of God's gifts is the ability for parents to know your child's cries in the mix of others,  they can tell when they are up to no good by the lack of noise and they can recognize their child in a photograph no matter how dark or small.

I will be printing and displaying this in my home.    This will be another memory captured for when my tiny little man is grown and his children's silhouette's are the ones I am comparing to this photograph.
