During my visit to my grandma's home,my little cousin on seeing my DSLR asked me to take a pictue of him jumping,such that he is in air.What resulted was this image. After my click all i remembered was me jumping like this in days behind and one day i landed down as a big boy or a young lad.I guess back to childhood would be the boon many would choose.
The backstory of the photo: our dachshund bit off the eye of Ivan’s beloved teddy bear, which made him very upset and cry. His mother comforted him by temporarily sticking a plaster over the eye. Later, the bear’s eye was sewn back on.
was that feeling I had all the time .. It was a sense of mind when everything in the world is exciting, and you just love being around all the people you love and care about .. <3
Yeah I was pushing tooo hard=P! lool .. Just ignore the fact that I cared less when my undies were showing=P! .. Mohammed my cousin and I, in London .. hmmm i guess 9 years ago ..

Infographic Description
The Weight-control Information Network's "What's Your Next Move? Help Reduce Childhood Obesity" infographic starts with a call for action and has three sections.
The Call for Action is text that says, "As a parent or caregiver, you can do a lot to help your child get to and stay at a healthy weight. Start making healthy changes for you and your child today."
Section One: Know the Facts
It has a graphic with the outlines of three children, one of which is overweight. Next to it is this data from the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES), 2009-2010 from the Centers for Disease Control, "About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered overweight or obese." Below, there is a part titled, "Percentage of Youth in the United States with Overweight or Obesity, 2009–2010." It features three bar graphs. The first graph is "Percent By Age Group: Ages 2-19." The first bar shows ages 2-5 at 26.7 percent, the second bar shows ages 6-11 at 32.6 percent, and the third bar shows ages 12-19 at 33.6 percent. The second graph is "Percent By Sex: Ages 2-19." The first bar shows girls at 30.4 percent, the second bar shows boys at 33 percent, and the third bar shows both sexes at 31.8 percent. The third graph is "Percent By Race: Ages 2-19." The first bar shows White at 29 percent, the middle bar shows Black at 41.8 percent, and the third bar shows Hispanic at 41.2 percent. This data is sourced from the NHANES, 2009-2010.
Section Two: Be Active Every Day
It has a circle graphic with the words "Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day." in the center. The words are sourced to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The outside of the circle is surrounded by the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, positioned as if on a clock face. Outside of the numbers are outlines of six children. The first child rides a bike, the second plays basketball, the third walks a dog, the fourth jumps rope, the fifth plays hopscotch, and the sixth runs. Next to the graphic is this text, "To be healthy your child needs at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Break the time into smaller parts during the day; it all adds up. Here are some fun ways to get active with your child."
Section Three: Eat More Healthy Foods
It has this text, "When you practice healthy eating habits as a family, everyone wins! Help your child get to and stay at a healthy weight by serving more fruits and veggies and setting limits on sugars and fats." Below the text is a graphic of a scale or balance. On the lower side of the scale there are many fruits, vegetables, beans, and other healthy foods piled up. On the higher side of the scale there are candy, butter, sugary drinks, and other unhealthy foods.
Below all three sections of the infographic is a box with this text, "What's Your Next Move? Visit the Weight-control Information Network (WIN) website at www.win.niddk.nih.gov to learn more about how to reduce childhood obesity and download a free copy of WIN's recently updated brochure Helping Your Overweight Child."
What's Your Next Move
Under the text box, there is the WIN logo followed by this small-size text;
"The Weight-control Information Network (WIN) is a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). WIN provides the general public, health professionals, and the media with science-based, up-to-date, culturally relevant materials and tips. Topics include healthy eating, barriers to physical activity, portion control, and eating and physical activity myths."
Next to this text is a part titled Sources, with this small-size text;

I love this soda! I used to drink it all the time when I was a child, but I hadn't seen it in many years. I thought maybe the company had gone out of business, but lucky for me, that is not the case! :)
My toys of childhood between late 70's to mid 80's - well mid 80's I was already not a child but I played with toys anyway -even until now! ha!
My mother and father standing under banana trees in the back of our garden. Taken by me in 1959 or 1960. And this time both exposure and focus were pretty good.
"When the road looks rough ahead, and you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed. You just remember what your old pal said, Boy, you've got a friend in me."

“What’s your greatest struggle right now?”
“Engineering - it was a stupid decision I made”
“Why was it stupid?”
“Because I wanted to be an engineer from when i was eight, what kind of childhood is that? I was telling my father the other day that the problem is that I can’t find anyone to blame, it was 100% my own decision to come here and stufy. It would be a lot easier if i could shift the blame."
The days when moms knew everything and could heal anything with a kiss,when dads were still heros...who would never leave.
Playing until the street lights came on. Koolaid stands and slip n slides.
Skinned knees from chasing butterflies....dirt under your finger nails from making mud pies. falling off your bike with no more training wheels, shaking your head and saying "big girls don't cry" ! Nights spent playing truth or dare in a tent made from a bed sheet and friends were just about everyone we meet. .The days when nature was our entertainment and we would watch the clouds for hours just to see what the next one would become.and when we found a dandilion we believed that if we closed our eyes tight and blew ....all our dreams would come true!

Age Seven
By Forough Farrokhzad
Translated by Leila Farjami
Ay, age seven
Ay, the magnanimous moment of departure
Whatever happened after you,
happened in a mesh of insanity and ignorance.
After you,
the window which was a lively and bright connection
between the bird and us
between the breeze and us
broke
broke
broke
after you,
that earthly doll which did not utter a thing,
nothing but water
water
water
drowned
in water.

Donkey Rides for children were a common sight on many UK beaches when I was a child & I remember the thrill & excitement of shrieking children pestering their parents for rides up & down the beach. Sadly, some of the donkeys were overworked & not very well looked after but this was corrected when animal protection organisations stepped in & rules concerning the working animals were introduced. Nowadays it is a rare sight to see donkeys working on beaches so it brought back many happy childhood memories to see these on the beach in Llanelli, Wales.
This is my third attempt at HDR (slightly). The first one is here. I don’t remember what happened with the second, I guess it wasn’t worth it. :D
Anyway, let’s be charitable. :)
I am not sure what the little sticker/poster was for, but it brought memories. Those red rooster lollipops are part of my childhood.
....AS THIS OLD HI-CHAIR SITS IN THE MIDST OF DECAY ONE CAN STILL REMEMBER THE FADED MEMORIES.........

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS
As childhood friends, we grew up together,
Swearing to be friends forever and ever.
Sometimes we would argue and fight,
Other times we would laugh and stay up all night.
We went from playing with games and toys,
To talking and dreaming about different boys.
My thoughts and feelings, to you I would confide,
Never having anything to hide.
Friends we do remain,
Things changing, and things staying the same.
To each other we still listen and share,
About each other, we will always care.
by Mindy Carpenter
To my childhood friends...wherever you are now. I hope you are living your greatest dreams and have had lives of joy and happiness. I love you and thank you for the time we shared.
