I though I'd post an all-Thomas thread, since he gets the short end of the DPS stick, in favor of his photogenic little sister. These are actually my four favorite shots from our weekend trip to the new science center in Hartford.

These are all fantastic Martha... hard to pick a favorite...
but if I had to... I'd have to say the first and second one really caught my eye!
Your little guy is so cute This looks like a great science center...
my kids would have a blast there.

Martha, such a thoughtful mother you are. These are great, the 1st and 2nd are runner up to the last one. As a father myself I have to love the depiction of a father and son sharing the moment!

Martha these are awesome! All tell a story in some way, I love them. The first 2 are ones I could stare at forever - there's something about the jet black background with sharp color contrast that I love, they're fascinating. You should see if the Center would like to publish these in their brochure/website/newsletter or something, they're wonderful. Thomas is lovely too!

Hi Duane. Isn't that a great moment? I think it says so much, even though their backs are to the camera.

Thanks! I was pretty happy with it - it's like he's mission control or something!

I like the last one, father and son seeing new things togather.
