Creative photo #11 ~ Bus stop memories

In honor of kids everywhere heading back to school, I give you my two on the first day of school in August, 1995.
Allegra, who was heading off to second grade, is being the helpful big sister to Cameron, who was starting kindergarten.

This is my entry in Roger's Creative Photography contest. Thanks as always, Roger, for hosting. ;-)

A great photo Patti and moment! My Daughter started back to school this week with great reluctance and came home happy and excited.

Patti said...

Aww, this photo makes me sad. Even though it's a terribly sweet one. My oldest son will be starting kindergarten this year, and I'm not ready to let go yet! lol. :)

What a sweet memory. If you look at my Pedalogue site, you'll see my post about my very first day at school.

Linda said...

That brings back so many memories of when Amanda and Jamie went off to school, too! Unfortunately, I believe the ex-husband took custody of all the pictures when we split up. Sigh ...

Good luck in this week's contest, I finally found something I liked but I had to go out and shoot some new pictures to do it!

How adorable. When I was young we did not have the luxury of backpacks or book bags. We just had to lug them around.

I love that Patti! She's almost, not quite, holding his hand as big sisters will do.

I am the oldest of 4 so I know.
