Today is a pretty awful day for picture taking, as it is raining and will be throughout the day. Not like one of those light drizzles but a full-on, Forrest Gump-like "fat rain" that is just persistent and is forecasted to stay throughout the day. Since the conditions are going to fight me in photographing something new, I've decided to do a "flashback" of a picture I took earlier this year. Last June, my daughter had a camping event with her Girl Scouts that I wanted to go to with her because I thought about how her and I would be able to bond, camping together in a tent. My expectations were high as I went through all the fun stories we would tell and games we'd play trying to go to sleep. Of course, all of that changed quickly when she wanted to sleep in others' tents and hang out with her friends. I walked around a lot that night taking pictures of them making Smores, singing songs, and just being best friends. As her and some of her friends were playing around the campfire, I stood up on a pile of stumps and started taking pictures of them as they were hugging each other and going around in circles. What transpired was a great photo of my daughter and two of her friends in a moment of sheer happiness. My favorite part of the photograph is how my daughter's love for her stuffed rabbit is evident, including it in her fun. All three of them were full of joy and their embrace completed the human "Circle of Friends".
