He reminds me of the song
Circle Game by Joni Mitchell.
Yesterday, a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Then, the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "When you're older", must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came,
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time. It won't be long now.
'Til your drag your feet to slow the circles down"
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and 'round and 'round
In the circle game
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.

Moving photography and song paring Bob. Echoing everyone above ... F/V. How interesting this is part of the Shoe Leather Express Portfolio ... waiting on pins and needles for that ;-)
Joan Minchak
Wow, Bob, the sharpness of the portrait and softness of the background just really work! Nice work! Fave!
Theresa Tahara
Superb photography, Bob, and so poignant. Reminds me of sending my son (an adult now) off to school for the first time and my thoughts, at the time, of what the "carousel" might have in store for him. It was a tearful moment and I will never forget it. Wonderful description choice. ;-) f/v
