Three generations, on the right path.
(Photo notes: Daughter, father and grandfather, hiking at Dinosaur Ridge, near Denver, Colorado. I liked the way my family arranged themselves so I could shoot this picture. Three-year-old granddaughter in front, because she’s curious, wants to have fun, and is full of energy. Dad right behind to keep her safe. Grandpa last, because he’s carrying all the gear: the support guy. An apt allegory of the way our life has evolved as a family. The path was rocky, and had some rough spots, but we made it to the top without a scratch. Life lived.)

Love it. It kind of reminds me of life’s path and the stages of life. Great pic too.
Thanks Sandra. Goodness – you’re up late too? Or is it early there? I laid awake for an hour with a headache, decided to get up and do something instead. This was a fun photo for me too – I couldn’t believe how nicely my family arranged themselves.
It may be the time difference, HG. It was only a little after 12 am my time. However, it’s true that I am a night owl.
Don’t you love it when the pic you want to take falls into place effortlessly? You couldn’t have arranged them any better if you tried.
Exactly. If I had tried to arrange them, it wouldn’t have turned out at all.
I think I’m at least an hour ahead of you. Normally I’m not blogging that late but I couldn’t sleep. I ended up doing an ode to Labor day (US holiday tomorrow) and two drafts that I hope are not unintelligible. Sleep deprivation-fueled writing – if this works I may become a late night novelist!
I love the story that goes with your choice of photos
I’m glad you liked it Maggie. Thanks for stopping by – hope to see you again.
i really fall in love with this pic!!:)
I’m glad you like it. Thanks for stopping in.
Isn’t this the best topic yet? I’m loving all the entries and love yours. Looks like a great day spent with family.
It was a great topic Doris. I think there has only been one since I started that I declined to do. We had a great time hiking that day – little Maddie was having fun as long as there were rocks on the trail. Wherever the trail was plain ground, she got bored. She was quite the trooper. We took her for another hike the next day with beautiful outcroppings that I’ll probably end up using at some point. BTW, I’m adding you to my blogroll so I don’t lose track of your amazing photos.
Loved your allegory on life and a nice pic!
Thanks Winsomebella. I couldn’t have arranaged my family better for that photo if I tried. !
I really liked your interpretation of the photo, excellent!
Why thank you Grannydog! So good of you to stop by.
That’s a nice family shot and a good choice for the challenge.
Thanks Martin. Yours were stunning as usual. We had a great time that day and it was fun to look through the pictures again.
Nice job!
Thanks. It was a fun hike – reminds me of the hikes we took with Daddy as kids.

Thanks and thanks for stopping by Mizz.
I love that the rocky path took you to the top (life lived) – indeed! And I bet the view was as fabulous as this lovely photograph!
why thank you Patti. This is the view we saw at the top that I used earlier in the photo challenge for “red.” Thanks for stopping by. https://huffygirl.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/weekly-photo-challenge-red/

Yes it is. I didn’t realize it until it was time to find a photo for the theme though. So nice of may family to arrange themselves for the picture. Thanks for stopping in.
Wonderful photo and post!
Thanks for your kind words Theresa!
