I did a photoshoot with the grandkids this week - here's part 1 at the farm. The first two shots are with a 50mm lens, the rest are with the 70-200, aka, the "Beast". We had tons of fun doing this!
Pg 3 - Wonderful images, certain to be cherished for years to come.
Great job, Sue.

I hope this series falls within the "family guidelines."
The next images were the most difficult I ever took or had to process. I hope you will forgive me if you feel they are too repetitive, but I hope you will take a moment and remember the atrocities and injustices our societies continue to allow.
In 2005, film director Can Togay and sculptor Gyula Pauer created a memorial call "Shoes on the Danube" in memory of those who lost their lives during the last years of World War II.
"During this time, Jews in Budapest were often rounded up on the banks of the Danube before being shot into the water which would then carry them away. Even more harrowingly, they were regularly forced to remove their shoes as these were a valuable commodity during the war; their murderers would then sell them or use them themselves."
"The national socialist Arrow Cross Party had taken control in Hungary. Led by Ferenc Szálasi, the party shared a number of beliefs with Germany’s Nazi Party – including Antisemitism. From October 15, 1944 to March 28, 1945 the Arrow Cross Party ruled the country as, in cooperation with the Nazis, thousands of civilians (mostly Jewish) were deported, sent to slave labour camps or murdered. At the same time, Arrow Cross militiamen ran loose in Budapest wreaking havoc and destruction. During the party’s five month rule, estimates suggest that 10,000 people were killed in the streets with a further 80,000 sent to concentration camps."

How appropriate,at a time when the very event of the holocaust is downplayed and denied, that you should experience and post this poignant reminder. SO difficult to imagine the atrocities and the horrors people faced. I hadn't heard about this memorial and I find it especially moving. I can't begin to fathom the purpose of denying it and rewriting history as if to minimize and wipe out its existence.
