"I hardly know you, but I adore you"

Description


----
This little baby, Ayden, is only four months old. But it's clear that he and his dad ALREADY have a strong bond.
---
Shot at the 8th Annual Car Show and Street Festival in South Philly last weekend.
----
I learned this summer that all the little black spots that you see on sidewalks--particularly URBAN sidewalks--were once spat-out CHEWING GUM!

A great moment captured Michelle! #1538888

This is adorable Michelle, the expression on Ayden is priceless, love it!!! I once shot a piece of sidewalk because of all the blotches, yes old gum. The gum and cigarette butts on the sidewalk can turm me into a grumpy old man pretty quick, especially if it is in front of a nice restaurant or medical building. #10794396

Who could resist that sweet face? (The baby's not bad, either...) :-D Adorable, Michelle! #10794399

I am in total agreement with Gord. Think at some time we have all been a victim of the dreaded gum on the sidewalk thing.
That big smile on Aydems face and the excitment it shows for seeing daddy is so priceless. I can just hear that lttle laugh that will melt the heart of a man and make him do baby talk sounds. A tender moment so well caught for eternity with this beautiful picture my friend.
Have a wonderful day. #10794525

I am not sure which part of this entry was more entertaining for me. Their fun and touching exchange of love here or the gum trivia! :D Both were great!

You're always on the ball. This we know! :D

Love it!
