Child Photo Competition 2015 No 1 : Entry Number 31

One of my favorites! What a moment! His facial expression is gorgeous - a mix between happiness and surprising. Or maybe a "Finally I have caught you!" or "welcome back my old friend!" Would love to read a story behind this picture...

Hi, Thank you very much for the great accolade... It is a magical picture I have always thought... purity and youth!.. He is one of my very favorite kids in the world and he found this baby squirrel that had fallen from its nest.. He looked after it so well... and they were inseparable... It really reminds me of a time gone by... where youth was all about nature and the outdoors... How sad it is to think what far to many kids spend their time doing these days... So glad you liked it... Camera 7D Canon, taken in Zimbabwe. Lens 70-200F2.8
