I took this picture Sept. 10th, 2005 (Cody's Birthday and a long day of motorcycle touring took place). It is one of my favorite pics just because it is 'man vs. world'. I believe it captures the vastness of the Earth and how minuscule we are in comparison. Or maybe, how for this brief moment, he had a realization of how grand Mother Nature's greatness is and all that God has created above and below us was right there in front of him as if for the first time. Every time I look at this pic, I feel incredibly blessed. It takes me back to the earliest days of Brian and I dating and how he, while commandeering a motorcycle, loudly sang a song to me on our way back down the mountain (even over the growl of exhaust pipes). I'll never forget that day and how the sunshine felt on my face and the way Brian kept looking in the mirror at me and smiling with the cutest grin imaginable. Sweet memories...
