Weekly Photo Challenge: Up
Thanks for all the nice comments and emails and congrats on the 700th post.
So what to post for seven hundred and one? WordPress helped me out at the end of the week with releasing the weekly photo challenge today- UP! Thought of this photo I took in September 2004 in Hardy,Virginia. Uncle Matty tossing niece Anna up in the air. Wheeeeeee. She started second grade on Wednesday. Matty in in New York City visiting his Aunt Mary (my sister) as they prepare for the arrival of Irene. He heads back to Zagreb, Croatia, soon. You saw him on the Megabus. One thing leads to another. And Winston the rescue horse was in Hardy VA next door to Erika’s(guest blogger) parents. Anyway, I have always liked this photo and the feeling I get looking at it. The trusty Canon EOS Rebel for this shot! Newer readers might want to check out my 10-10-10 blog post of Anna hula-hooping. See time fly by. 
Great photo! I caught myself smiling as I looked at the happy faces of the your subjects. I checked out your 10-10-10 blog post of Anna hula-hooping. She’s a lovely young lady now!

Time flies faster as they get older. I hate that. I love this picture, though. Happy Anna, happy uncle!
