Can you remember blowing on a puffball and hoping your wishes would come true?
I vividly remember those days of long ago, but can hardly remember what my wishes were.
Did they ever come true? Maybe they did, but I had already forgotten that I had wished for them to happen.
If we remembered every wish we made, if we had kept a record of the ones that came true and the ones that did not,
maybe we would not remember now that blowing on a puffball was so important;
maybe we would not remember that we were once children and we had dreams and wishes
and that hope was all that mattered.
I must admit that even now, once in a while, I still blow on a puffball when nobody is looking
and my wish is always the same: To continue being a child at heart and
to believe that dreams can still come true.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
