LENS Photo Challenge: Nature Is My Classroom

This week's LENS Photo Challenge from Jenn at Home is Where You Start From is "Nature Is My Classroom."    I took this picture a couple of weeks ago on a trip to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.  I love the way he's flooded with light and the reflection of the water on his arm, but mostly I love his intent fascination on whatever he had found in the water.

LENS Photo challenge: A Love of Reading

I came across Home Is Where You Start From today, and the blogger is starting the LENS photo challenge: the LEarning Never Stops.  When I saw that her first photo topic was the love of reading, I knew this picture would be perfect!

Brennan is just taking off with reading and is so proud to be able to read some of the early readers from the library.  Connor, who seems to be drawn like a moth to a flame whenever anyone in the house is reading anything out loud, wanted to see the pictures and climbed up behind him on the couch.  He occasionally coached Brennan on a word, which was nice to see, but the best part was when he interrupted him from time to time to tell him, "You're doing so good, bookworm!"  So sweet. *grin*
