The happy chaos of my grandkids playing outside turned quiet as I rounded a corner. There she was, Ivy, on the doorstep, bathed in warm sunlight streaming from the open door. But she wasn't alone. Her beloved teddy bear sat expectantly in her lap. "Playing with Teddy," a new favorite photo, captures this heartwarming scene. Ivy, her back to the camera, leans in close to her furry friend. Her tiny hand reaches out, urging the teddy to do "blow bubbles." This black and white photo is powerful in its simplicity. It's not about the colors, but the pure wonder in Ivy's eyes. Her imagination transforms the ordinary doorstep into a stage for extraordinary possibilities. The teddy bear becomes a co-star, ready to join the bubble-blowing fun. "Playing with Teddy" is a reminder of a child's boundless creativity, where everyday objects come alive, and dreams take flight. Don't you wish they could always stay this innocent.
