Good Bye Summer & Welcome Autumn Full Of Good Memories

This is what I am leaving behind and approaching fall with lots of real and photographic heartwarming memories. Children grow so fast, and if Matthew continues to sprout really fast, next year he will definitely be swinging on the adult swing.

I like your word choice: sprout.
Yes, it does seem like children do that!
Marka said…
Great photograph! His smile is contagious! Here's to another season of growth, love, and photography! Cheers!
Ryan said…
My sons the same, they always take a sprout during the summer months.

Nice shot Anna! He's a good looking boy and yes...is growing fast. Before you know it he'll be asking for the keys to the car :-) Take care and hope all is going well with you and your family oh, ... and the comments you have left are appreciated...considering you're the only one who visits my blog ...lol. Been really busy post processing images. Will definately post in the near future.

You're so right, Anna, about how swiftly our precious children grow. I cherish each moment with them, as I'm sure you do too.
Anna: Matt is a cute kid and he will grow very fast.

We have been seeing Matthew through your beautiful images and he has come a long was since the post http://myonlyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/12/letter-to-santa-claus-from-northpole.html

Way to go Matt....Thomas

Hi Anna - Matthew has proven to be very photogenic, but one is one of the cutest yet! Change happens so fast in our eyes, but not fast enough in theirs.

Thanks for all your visits to my site. I am not surprised you don't grow your own peppers that far north as they are such a long season crop. Even here in Oregon they don't ripen to late August, early September, but then watch out! I have more than we can eat.

Here he is "my cutie-pie" Matthew!!!! O.M.G. he is grown so much, Anna..!!! And such a sweet smile he has, I had to smile back to him :))

Give him a big hug from me, Anna!!! Wish you all a happy time together. Christmas is coming soon again, have a lot of joy with your little sunshine - that's what he will be for you, even he's grown up to a young handsome man.

P.S. Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my blog my dear friend!

Happy new week :-)
Tatiana said…

so sweet and cute and beautiful bokeh!
It is amazing how time does fly! Matthew is growing so fast. He is such a cute little boy.
Oh, and from your comment, mom did get a new camera. She got a Canon EOS Rebel 1000D. She also got a different lens thingy too so she can zoom in better. Mom bought it right before her trip, and is still trying to learn how to use it better. She loves it!

Anna,

He is so cute!!! If he keeps up growing this way, next year he might be leaving to school ;).

Cheerio, darling!
Priyank said…
Hi Anna,

Looks like Matthew is growing up in full swing! Lovely picture and metaphor. Its nice to be back! :)
James Owens said…
A beautiful child! Your photo really captures happiness in this moment!

Anna:

Mathew is such a beautiful little boy, and growing like a weed! Before you now it, he'll be a teenager.

Our daughter had her baby boy about three months ago. It's really exciting. But these are the months of no sleep. I don't know how my queen and I ever did it.

Happy, happy trails to you.
Jeevan said…
Seems Mathew enjoys swinging :)
Let those good, hear warming memories last forever dear anna!
Lynda Lehmann said…
Anna, I fancy that I can see the maturity and self-awareness on Matthew's face! Gone are the days of infancy.

He looks like a positively joyous child. I hope you enjoy every moment!
Nancy J. Locke said…
Beautiful photo of Matthew, Anna!!! He is sprouting and almost has outgrown that swing.

Happy Halloween! Can't wait to see Matthew's costume. :D

Hugs, Nancy/JJ
Peter said…
Matthew sure is a happy chappy on that swing. That seat looks safe enough. Back in the old days while near parallel to the ground I'd often fall to earth with a thud!

Take Care,
Peter

si...il tempo passa troppo velocemente....pensa che il mio l'altro giorno ha voluto che suo papà gli insegnasse a farsi la barba perchè i baffi si vedono già parechhio......

He is just too adorable!
Chris said…
He will definitively swing in the adult one next year. He is beautiful!
How cute he is Anna. Time does fly and before one knows it, the children are grown up.

I have missed you and wondered if you were having a busy summer as I see from your previous posts you were. :)

Hi Anna, time goes by so fast. Mattew is a big boy and so cute. Children really grow fast; unfortunately the same way we are growing older. :-) This is wonderful capture of your beautiful boy Anna.
