Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.

One of the best things about my usual “third in line” hiking position is capturing moments like this. John and Ryan like to walk a little faster than me and as they get comfortable on their feet the conversation starts to flow covering everything from science to current events, life questions and popular culture. I get to hang back, take photos and watch the two of them be together in the moment.

What a wonderful photo and wonderful family memory.

Fabulous capture – watching father and son/daughter moments is a favourite past-time of mine – those one-on-one times are so precious! 🙂

When we hike with family, I’m also last in the line on the trail. It’s a good place for photos, especially if I want to stop. 🙂
