The Joy of Friends....

Phaedra's Photos -

My daughter asked me to meet with her choir group to take pictures. There was another photographer there to do it, she was new and asked for my advice. She was new to photography and trying to work things out...and I love giving advice. So we took some pictures. 

I look at these pictures and I see the joy in not just a choir, but a group of friends. The silliness, the craziness, and the love they share. I look at these pictures now, and my daughter has a new group of friends...she is at a new school. This reminds me of the impermanence of life...

Capturing the moments,
Phaedra





The Joy of Friends

It is joy
And laughter
And silliness
A comfort from the darkness
That tries to take over
A shoulder to cry on when
The world shatters


Giggles when it is the least appropriate
A leap
A hug
Running through sprinklers
In the park at night
It is the group of people
Who you meet for lunch everyday
Or the one person who will
Never abandon you


It is Hope
Love
A cup of hot chocolate in the cold
Sprinkled with marshmallows


It is Friendship
