snappy and zippy

henry has been taking pictures of everything since i got a new camera. he thinks that the point and shoot is his and i’m happy to let him explore with it. he’s mostly careful and remembers to wear the strap on his wrist so as not to drop it. it’s the same camera that went for a swim last summer as jude was loading everything he could carry from the sunporch into the wading pool. the thing works well but doesn’t stay charged for as long as before. i don’t think much worse could happen to it, really.

henry rides in the car and says, “what a shot!” at the leftover sunrise in pinks and greens, the long curve of train track as we wait for the traffic, the trees that flower white and are a-buzz with giant bumblebees. we’ve been reading almost daily his new book about a photographer that travels the world taking pictures of artists. he got the book last week in his kindermusik class and now thinks he’s the hottest thing with a camera.

here are the latest. i’ve not posted pictures by henry for a long time, over a year, maybe longer. i’m too lazy on this sunny breezy day to look it up. if you’re still in hibernation you might search the archives for me. my favorites are the windows and sunshine, the almost-missed light fixture in the study, and the anthropologie catalog on my messy desk.
