"It is admirable for a man to take his son fishing, but there is a special place in heaven for the father who takes his daughter shopping."
-- John Sinor
"My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," my dad would reply, "we're raising boys."
--Harmon Killebrew
"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love the most is soap-on-a-rope."
-- Bill Cosby
When I visited my son's college, last summer, I saw these two near the pond. I was struck by their enjoyment of the pool and of the day. After a few minutes I noticed they had not moved and that is when I realized they were statues. What a wonderful piece of art for the students to see and pass by each day.

I don't know how you gave the grass and the water a painting look, but it is beautiful. It's an excellent scene with super colors.

HE SHOOTS...HE SCORES!
A wonderful place to feature the statue. Very much has the feel of a painting. While I know many college students are very in the now and "me" oriented I know some will take notice as you did.

Excellent shot, narrative and overall post John. Touched my heart strings that is for sure. A very thoughtful thing they did in adding those statues by the pond.

Love every one of the quotes in your description and I just love the image. I did both with my dad, fishing and shopping. Could say I was a bit of a tomboy.

The statues look very real. It is a lovely shot and I like the effect you used for this. Great work!

"Did you bring the worms? No, dad did you? No, I forgot. It doesn't make any difference, there are no fish here anyway." Tick Morgan as a kid. Great post Shads. Took me back in time.
It was never about catching fish. Beautiful post and words.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Great work, not only with the shot itself, but the effects are just right. Not over done, and it really looks like a 1800s painting. This has a great feel to it.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower, to hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. - William Blake
Lovely capture John and lovely words and thoughts. I like the effect you have added to this very much. The colours, composition and the lines in this just flow. Well done!

Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, been very busy doing Skating Competition work and a lot more to do for the upcoming event in mid Feb. So don't worry if I don't comment, but I am viewing.
