None of these pictures are new. Over the years, I have collected photos of my husband working with our children. Seeing him at work as a father has always fascinated me. I meant to make a compilation of all these pictures, make a coherent presentation of them, but somehow, I never got the chance to. Besides, the pictures have been stored in different files – that discouraged me from doing anything. For compelling me to do something about my plan makes me appreciate this challenge a lot. I guess my husband is getting an early Father’s Day greeting. Since I got a good gift on Mother’s Day, I am happy to give him an early one. 😉
I hope you enjoy this little presentation.

I love hands, and this was a wonderful tribute to a father/husband man.
Thank you, K. My husband was quite pleased. I think this is a good time to ask again for something nice from him, 😉
Heheh.. could be Imelda 🙂

I love how you can gather old photos and put them into such a meaningful tribute to your husband and your loved ones’ hands! I know you said I’m too generous with my comments, but I mean every word, and I do LOVE all your pictures, as well as the words that go with them so perfectly. Beautiful!

Hope this time I'm right…
I love the light on your last picture.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my blog.
Thank you DagEnDauw for dropping by and the comment. The last picture was the one that immediately came to mind when I saw the theme for the challenge.
I like the captions! Especially “hands That Teach” and “Hands That Learn”, both very true at that age.
Thank you Peters154 for coming by and the comment. Trues, those little hands learn a lot from the big hands. 🙂
Not sure if it’s really either a ‘pingback’ or a ‘reblog’ but I liked your captions so much I had to rewrite my own post to include a link to your photo.
Oh! I appreciate that a lot. Thank you very much. I do not understand how those things are called either. I might have done a pingback without knowing how to. 🙂
No greater gift than the gift of our love and time for our children. Beautiful post!
