In the driveway before the snow

A little girl determent to play with both her bear in her arms and the pink ball in her driveway with a confused expression on her face and all the while I was just trying to capture her in these moments , I took this photograph before it started to snow and I was going through my pictures and brought it up again and started working on it and realized why I was working on it, I miss the nice warm weather and being out doors , instead due to the cold weather stuck inside, unless of course building a snowman out front. I find it interesting how so little can bring joy to a child and its one of the best things in the world to see it within a child and I remember myself how the little things brought me joy , they still do and always will in some ways but its not the same feeling I once had when I was young. She is my best friends daughter and I love her and I see so much of my best friend within her and when we were growing up even though we were in middle school but even then simpler things brought the joys to our faces. I see the love she has for her daughter and in some ways I understand it , as if in some way that love she has for her is also the little things in life that bring out the best within you and the joys. This is just a snap shot on one warm fall day of my niece in her driveway
