Did you mean this kind of kid?
Probably not. But it's my only chance to use this photo, taken a few weeks ago in Japan.
We were there for two weeks in June-July, and I couldn't help snapping a few pics of kids.
We saw lots of school kids.
I loved the packs, lined up neatly in an after-school care center.
I don't know if I'll ever capture a sweeter moment.
Or a sadder one. These are small statues at a Shinto shrine, honoring babies who died.
Back home, I have begun fostering a cat who just had a litter of four babies last week.
Tough job, but somebody's gotta socialize the little ones.
Here is a real "My Town" kind of shot: a little guy playing in the fountain at the river front park here in Corvallis. Doesn't it make you want to kick your shoes off and get in there too? We have had very few hot days this summer in Oregon, unlike the rest of the country; y'all should come on over and cool off.
