This image taken about 30 minutes after birth.
Proud papa. Andrew had a wonderful Father's day gift.
New Grandmother...
Aunt Sherylin
Uncle Sean
Aunt Jenn
More proud grandparents -- Howard and Paula.
And now for some more images of Olivia...
(Jenn took this image with my D200)
In the car and ready to go home. This is about 3-4 hours after birth.
I wrote this poem just before lunch back in 1994. I was trying to capture a moment in time when all seemed right in the world. Now seems an appropriate time to share.
Just a Moment
A warm remembrance of gleeful chuckles
Wafts gently, inspiring a playful dose of stifled giggles.
Aglow with wonderment, foretelling a gentleness
Known and reborn, is that next precious moment
When inspiration, full and enraptured
Radiates the warm knowledge of all that is good.
How uncommon that Fountain of Youth, intimate to all,
As espied over walls of self-doubt.
The trifling act of seeing what's there
Compels another chuckle as pure, honest simplicity
Overpowers the most futile self doubt.
The bubbling lift of heart swells eye to joy
And soul to soft, cloud like buoyancy.
