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!

April 22, 2013 at 1:10 pmWhen 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.

Thanks for sharing.

October 11, 2012 at 1:15 pmI’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,

October 11, 2012 at 1:48 pmOh 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.
