My ‘baby sis’ and I ended up on Brighton Pier one evening
While I was in England.
After a wonderful time with the kids at the amusement park,
We caught a spectacular sunset over the old West Pier.
As we headed back to the car with the lights twinkling,
My daughter burst out, “I wish we could make photos with our eyes.”
Her Aunty Kata (my sister) had a brilliant reply:
“We can. They are called memories.”
(I’m away at a summer cottage here in Sweden until the weekend, so may not be able to visit you. But I do APPRECIATE all your comments!)
For more memories, please visit: Skywatch.

Splendid photos of a beautiful scene! Aunt Kata’s reply was perfect… but I also can relate to your daughter’s lament. Memory isn’t always reliable, and sometimes words aren’t enough (and a picture is worth a thousand of them), so it can be hard to share a special scene or moment with someone without a photo. I have a feeling that someday soon, we will be able to take photos with our eyes – or at least with some sort of bionic implants! Meanwhile, I’m glad you tote your camera around! 🙂
