January 9, 2013. Children of Wood

It doesn't take much to make a child happy. In fact, I'd say many parents make their children unhappy by trying to show them how to be happy. These children in the mud remind me of my parents telling me about how as a little kid during Christmas once, I had more fun with the cardboard box a gift came in than the gift itself.
I did not pose these kids, nor did I ask them to smile. They were there and they were happy.
