Strong men skilled in dealing with life protect with instinctive ease the beauty that is theirs. And behind them me - following for a few stolen moments, watching.



It is the dance of fatherhood. The innocence of youth. The hand that always knows just exactly where you are...

I share your ideas about this shot, good that the pattern of behaviours did not change that much through ages

Sweet post, Allison. It made me teary-eyed thinking about my Dad. My father and I had a strong bond.
I miss him so much, but this makes me know all the more to never take any moment for granted.

Hugs

I love seeing daddies with their babies! And even cuter when it's a big manly daddy with a little girly girl. ;)

Precious... only a dad can love his daughter like no other can.
