Thanks very much for viewing :)

Don't always get along. Little guy wandered into dad's terrain and dad chased him away head down ready for a good bunt. Little guy eventually came back and dined on his dad's bush without a reprimand. Either short memory or a father/son moment.

Just realized i'm filling my pages with mountain goat pictures. I did take quite a few on the afternoon I spotted them. I will eventually move on but I thought I would share the more intimate pix.

Much to early, but the ducklings have arrived...

This one is just a couple of days old and is one of a family with about 6 - 7 ducklings.

Father duck was so kind to let me approach the family rather near, so I could take a lot of beautiful pictures. This is one of these pictures (a bit cropped).

Thanks father Duck.

My father and his friends went to Al-Ra'is on the Red Sea for the weekend. It is a small city to the south west of Madinah. On the request of my father, I joined them on this trip.

Believe it or not: it was a real fun. They were all older than me, of course. In fact one of them was my teacher in elementary school.

This photo was taken while my dear father was calmly watching the sunset.

My father photographs this scene of golden light and reflection just after sunrise.

The very first job my father had after coming to the US was as a dishwasher. He was sent to be a window washer but took one look at the height of the skyscraper they sent him to and just about passed out. Here he is working as a body man sometime in the early 1950s.

Most of the focus is spent on the mother and her newborn baby because it was her who gave birth, nursed the baby, etc. But the father also has a very strong, yet different connection to their child.

I remember a moment like this with my own child; just being able to touch, feel and experience his breath on me and just being so proud. A wave of thoughts of teaching him to ride a bike, going hiking, telling stories at night, the adventures of parenthood, seeing him graduate, seeing him off to preschool, college… all in this very instant of holding him close to me. You realize that everything you’ve made of yourself, all of your possessions, all of your accomplishments… none of that is as important as this. Suddenly you feel a huge sense of responsibility and obligation to teach this child everything you know, to protect him and to see he has the best life possible in front of him.

I don’t know what Eddie was thinking here with his 9-day old son Enrique, but his subtle expression helped me realize that being a parent isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a privilege. And I thank God every time I get to see my kids and play with them, discipline them, and even wasting time with them is time well spent.

Caro babbo,

Inutile discutere

D'accordo non saremo mai

Che cosa c'e di strano in cio

Trent'anni ci separano

O forse

C'e il timore in te

Di non trovare piu la forza

D'essere al mio fianco

Se gli ostacoli mi fermano.

Dear father,

It's useless to argue

We'll never agree

There's nothing strange with that

Thirty years separate us

Or maybe

You are afraid

Not to find the strength

To stand by my side

If the obstacles should stop me

Happy Sliders Sunday to all the sliding dads out there!

This is one of my favorite pictures of my father, strolling down the avenue-NYC? Newark? D.C.? It could have been one or the other, far from his homeland of Ukraine. I'm sure he went through some culture shock after emigrating to the States after WWII. Photo taken sometime in the 1950s.

On this day that would have been his 89th birthday, I've lit a candle in memory of my wonderful Pappa.

Father And Son

Father:

It's not time to make a change

Just relax, take it easy

You're still young, that's your fault

There's so much you have to know

Find a girl, settle down

If you want, you can marry

Look at me, I am old

But I'm happy

I was once like you are now

And I know that it's not easy

To be calm when you've found

Something going on

But take your time, think a lot

I think of everything you've got

For you will still be here tomorrow

But your dreams may not

Son:

How can I try to explain

When I do he turns away again

And it's always been the same

Same old story

From the moment I could talk

I was ordered to listen

Now there's a way and I know

That I have to go away

I know I have to go

Father:

It's not time to make a change

Just sit down and take it slowly

You're still young that's your fault

There's so much you have to go through

Find a girl, settle down

If you want, you can marry

Look at me, I am old

But I'm happy

Son:

All the times that I've cried

Keeping all the things I knew inside

And it's hard, but it's harder

To ignore it

If they were right I'd agree

But it's them they know, not me

Now there's a way and I know

That i have to go away

I know I have to go

Padre e figlio

Padre:

Non è tempo di cambiare

Rilassati, prendila con calma

Sei ancora giovane, questa è la tua colpa

Hai ancora molte cose da conoscere

Trovare una ragazza, sistemarti,

Se vuoi puoi sposarti

Guarda me, sono vecchio,

Ma sono felice

Una volta ero come sei tu ora,

E so che non è facile

Rimanere calmi quando hai trovato

Qualcosa che va

Ma prendi il tuo tempo, pensa a lungo

Perché, pensa a tutto quello che hai avuto.

Poichè domani tu sarai ancora qui

Ma forse non i tuoi sogni.

Figlio:

Come posso tentare di spiegarmi,

Se lui ancora una volta distoglie l’attenzione

È sempre la stessa vecchia storia

Dal momento in cui potevo parlare,

Mi fu ordinato di ascoltare

Ora c'è una strada e so

Che devo andarmene

So che devo andare

Padre:

Non è tempo di cambiare

Siediti, prendila con calma

Sei ancora giovane, questa è la tua colpa

Ci sono ancora molte cose da affrontare

Trovare una ragazza, sistemarti,

Se vuoi puoi sposarti

Guarda me sono vecchio,

Ma sono felice

Figlio:

Tutte le volte che piansi,

Tenendo tutto dentro di me

È dura, ma è anche dura

Ignorare tutto

Se avevano ragione, ero d'accordo,

Ma conoscono loro, non me

Ora c'è una strada e io so

Che devo andarmene

So che devo andare

If this is how the two were buried, their coffins would intersect. My guess is that they're actually stacked.
