Inspiration

The most important people in my life are these guys, even if they persist in walking on ahead whenever I stop to take a photo. When I was younger I drew inspiration from my mother: I admired her strength of character and down to earth practicality. My father inspired a love of nature, story-telling and reading. I was inspired by the writings of Anne Frank to think that the scribblings of a teenage girl could be important. Nature and the beautiful Irish countryside has inspired my
interest in photography, just as the many Pbasers here have inspired me to try to improve my meagre skills.

LOL, I see Tom in so many of my Las Vegas pictures. He walks ahead and eventually ends up in my photo. Lovely view of hubby and son and the stroll with the dog.

I'm inspired now too!
Not sure there is a way to stop family walking into our shots. I'm told that restraints are frowned upon.

I like this and you've inpired me to try to catch some of that light.
