Give kids the camera

When we vacation, I tend to take most of the photos, but sometimes, I give kids the camera. To see what they consider “photo-worthy” occasionally surprises me. Mostly, their  photographic eye catches wonders I’d never see through my lens. Their vacation photography may not be National Geographic worthy, but to me, each image is a priceless treasure.

I hope you enjoy this vacation photography of the Mariposa Grove at Yosemite National Park, taken by my son, Ben.

Look up!

His view… why do I look so tired?

Look at all the long straight tree trunks, so different from home.

Devastation from a forest fire. Where did all the animals go? Are they okay?

 

Sunshine!

Why not take a picture of Mom taking a picture? 🙂

 

It looks like a giant broom!

 

Ellie is REALLY tiny!!!

 

Good night, Yosemite.

Give kids the camera! See the world from your child’s perspective. It’s beautiful!

    When I was a kid, my parents bought me a camera, and I was notorious for taking pictures of animals from 1,000 yards away. I would proudly show people a speck on the camera which was a hawk. These pictures are great and show they have a better eye than I did.

      We had a lot of fun, though it was much hotter than I expected it to be.

    Love these photos. Kids do have a different point of view, don’t they?
    Thanks for sharing.

    I’m so glad we live in the digital age. It used to cost so much money developing all those pictures our children find interesting! I agree, it is fun to see what catches their eye,

      Oh Debbie, how true. Our older son took a gazillion pictures of strange and out of focus items. The digital age makes it much more convenient! I recently got a camera upgrade, so now he has his own. He’s actually getting pretty good.

Meet Karen Dawkins

An avid traveler, I enjoy discovering new places: history, culture, and adventure. I love it all! Well, not bugs. I don’t like bugs very much, so I probably won’t visit a bug museum.
