I get my littlest boy to model my hats and scarves for my shots occasionally.
I think he's beautiful, but this shot just took my breath away. He looks so peaceful and gentle, which he is, I love the image and love him. It's a privilege to have children around you in life. When people seem to misunderstand this, and treat children as lesser humans, or as inconvenient, I believe it's more about the adults- and their own shortcomings, or fears about their own levels of tolerance, generosity, wisdom and patience. All this fear and frustration gets somehow directed onto children who actually wish the adults well....
I cherish my boys, they are my most favourite creations and I marvel sometimes at the unending love they give me and others so unconditionally. They never seem to be thinking of how much love to give or who deserves it or what effort it might involve. They can teach me everyday!
I am off to Chenrezig today to develop more my ability to love and be compassionate; from that most amazing teacher His Holiness the Dalai Lama! Peace and happy creating folks!

Your boy sure does look at peace in this shot. Lovely. I can completely understand why it is dear to you. And what a lovely boy to model for you - a very supportive gesture. Lovely too.
I'm admiring your beanie muchly - such a delicious red and lovely pattern of stitches.
It is a gorgeous shot. I love it when my kids keep going with what they are doing rather than act up for the camera. The beanie is pretty great too.
Sweet boy! They do bring so much joy....
