Snapshot: 6

backyard stream / summer circa 1988

Happy times with my childhood best friend. I wish we'd been able to remain close, but the bond we have will always be deep. (I'm on the right... in my favorite jazz pants!)

The photo is by her father who always shot with slide film and treated us all to many slideshows. I guess those days are over, Power Point?

  3. Oh, what a great picture! You were a beautiful little girl!

    This so reminds me of my childhood. We had a stream down the street from our house growing up, and I spent nearly every waking moment running round barefoot in it, catching minnows and crayfish, painting my legs with the clay, etc. It was the best childhood! You look quite happy as well!
