Oh yes, my kids do love the mountains, but for an entirely different reason. You see, in the past they did not like the mountains and so we thought of a little game in which they would find "treasures" like mineral stones along the way.
That in fact spoiled them, because now I cannot dissapoint them anymore and I have to buy and stow away mineral stones along the trail...
But we all get our own treasures in the end so it works out well for all of us!

Hi Paul....

Oh my Goodness...what an incomprensible scene you have become a part of...simply and yet so engaging... beautiful Paul...and now to leave my sweet words about your family....

The children and your wife are positively lovely...gorgeous and the children are so precious Paul...a very fortunate man you are my dear!!

I remember your wife from an earlier posting of yours...you were both on horses...riding them on the beach! What fun that must have been...I thought at the time...your wife is lovely and athletic...as well...two marvelous attributes to call your own...I too... love to be on the move all the time as well as I know you do....running is my thing!!

Hope you had a wonderful time away...and incidentally...I think your little game you employed... to help interest your children in the mountains...it worked...Yeah!!

Happy to see your return...so now get busy with the photos...I know you must have many you would love to share!!

Well, well, well...he finally reveals himself. Good heavens, I had you pictured as being much older. Don't know why. Probably because of your high quality images, I figured this guy has to be "old" and "experienced". (Thorry). Wonderful photo. It's a keeper...owd man.

What a GREAT looking family, Paul! I, too, had you pictured as being older because of the depth and "wisdom" that comes through in your work. No problem . . . I juat have to get used to thinking of you as a wise YOUNG man - - (I've always envisioned you as good looking and you've proven me right in that regard.) Thanks for sharing this great family shot!

Hi Paul ! very nice to meet you and your family. The last time i was here was in 2006 and i can still hear the deep roar caused by the waterfalls down the Eggishorn. I might go back here just to admire it again in August. Thanks for sharing.

Hello and greetings from Canada. :o)

Excellent family portrait Paul. Love that grand sweeping curve and the perspective you've afforded us with this photo.

I must admit, to my eyes ... it even looks a little scary being so close to that edge.

Nice to meet you all. :o)

The backdrop you chose to share your family with us is breathtakingly beautiful Paul! Your wife looks like someone I could sit and chat with for quite awhile and your darling angels have that beautiful white/blond hair.
The game you came up to amuse your children as you hiked throughout the mountains is a treasure in itself! Good thinking!!

Many thanks for sharing this with me. It is great to 'meet & greet' your family! :=)

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
