Saturday evening the Garden Friends gathered at Patti's house for a winter repast. Home made Pinot Noir wine, cheese from the new cow, greens from various gardens, salmon with black smoked salt and many other wonderous foods to share around the table. But best of all, little baby Tao.
Click to enlarge. He loved my new camera and figured all the buttons out right away. Those tiny little fingers, so cleverly exploring the wonders of seeing himself and the rest of us in the viewer. And then his expressions as I took frame after frame of his adorable face.
And suddenly the money shot. I nearly faint from the beauty of it all. Thanks for visiting!

Is THAT the cutest face?! Too adorable. What wonderful dinners to share with friends. Hoping to get some good art time in....we're expecting a snow storm tonite and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJudy, He is beautiful and perfect. Your photos are priceless. I so want to cuddle that little baby.
ReplyDeleteJudy, as a new first-time grandmother, I love your photos of those cheeks!
ReplyDeleteAnd the puppy snapshot is pure gold...
Your warm descriptions of gatherings with luscious meals always make me drool.
Friends, food, and baby cheeks!What a wonderful way to stave off winter doldrums.
Absolutely enchanting! Money shot/heart shot ... you got it, babe! Incidentally, I loved that photo of you younger. Oh, you looked happy then and happy now. You've come full circle. ()
ReplyDeleteOh my god, Judy, that's one of those shots you pray for! The gods smiled on you for sure. Way to go, girl.
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME picture, girlfriend (the dog licking his ear!) It made me squeal!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would faint too. "Perfessionals" wait years for such a shot, it seems. The universe is good to you as you are good to it.
ReplyDeleteHe is such a charmer, isn't he? Thanks for the updates on Tao, too.

There is nothing like the love of a child.
ReplyDeleteYou made my heart melt and now I'm so lonely for my little Iris.....
Have a wonderful holiday season.
Oh so gorgeous- i want to grab those cheeks.
ReplyDeletexo
adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand yes, this last photo is a PRIZE winner for sure!
Why is it that the blooming dog gets to do what any sane Meemaw wannabe would gladly give a year of her life to do?
ReplyDeleteI already told you how crazy I am about him. He is so beautiful, so classic. His face and expressions always makes me think of little Emperor, a child out a gorgeous dynasty of gorgeous ancestors. The look in the last photo reveals the actual age of his soul. That, my love, was indeed worth the price of the camera. See you Sunday, love to you both.
such precious photos that cheer my heart, just like your phone call did this morning, such perfect timing you always have...xoxox
ReplyDeleteHoly cow....the dog licking ear photo should be sent to some kind of photo contest.
ReplyDeleteIs that film roll setting from the camera or a blog trick?????
Oh, you have captured a true moment of joy.
ReplyDeletebaby tao is adorable! it sounds like a wonderful get-together!
ReplyDeleteoh so cute!
