Treat Yourself To Future Memories

When it comes time for Halloween, of course the obvious pointer is to take plenty of pictures of you or the little ones - be they kids or critters - in costume.  However, my suggestion for this month is to sometimes take a picture from a different point of view - literally and figuratively.

There is not much interest in looking at the back of someone's head in a photo...until that view tells a greater story.  I love the picture I am highlighting this month as even a year after taking it, when I look at the image, it reminds me of so much.   

It is great to see my sons (yes, in their matching Halloween pajamas) waiting with anticipation for the next batch of trick-or-treaters to come to the door.  I am constantly amazed in how they seem to delight more in the act of handing out candies versus going out to collect them (and yes, I know that will not last for long).  
Maybe to someone else this picture does not convey any meaning, but if an image can evoke a memory for at least one person that is what makes it special.  Snapshots can truly be our scrapbook of life in many ways.
