My nephews Jason and Glen "hiding" from the camera

As a member of a large family, the Lord has blessed me with a number of wonderful nephews and nieces, all of whom are quite photogenic. Today's pictures feature two of the most photogenic of the bunch: my little nephew Jason and his big brother "Little Glen". Jason and Glen live out of state so we don't get to see them as often as we would like, but we were excited to have them with us for this year's Parker Family Reunion. There were lots of children in attendance, virtually all of whom fell victim at one time or another to the relentless pursuit of my camera lens. At first, Jason wasn't too keen on having his picture taken, but it's easy to see that even when he "hid" from the camera he didn't seem to work at it all that hard, and by the end of the day I had several good pictures of him. But as for Glen... well, that's quite a different story! As you can see in the photo below, I had to work pretty hard to get a decent picture of the camera-shy youngster. All throughout the day he kept putting his hands in front of his face whenever he saw me point the camera towards him, but in the end I did manage to come away with a couple of "keepers". To the relentless goes the victory! All in all, this year's reunion was a wonderful event with plenty of loving embraces and "catching up" going on everywhere I looked, and thanks to all of the digital cameras snapping away we'll be able to step back in time to that great day over and over again as the years roll on.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
