How absolutely wonderful! The photos are beautiful and I can't help but smile thinking about those fleeting moments.

Just tonight, my little 2 year old daughter put her hand on my cheek. When I turned towards her, she held out her arms, leaned into me, gave me the most heartfelt hug, leaned back while keeping her eyes locked with mine, then towards me again for a final kiss.

Earlier today, my son had stoped playing with his cars, walked over behind me as I was finishing up an art project very dear to my heart, and said, "Mommy, you always make the most beautiful art."

There is no greater bliss than moments like that.

May we all continue to be there for them and share our gratitude. :)

Your photo and words always inspire me. I absolutely loved the video, I had to share it.
I am continuing to take pictures everyday and did capture a few fleeting moments of my oldest son.

Wonderful moments caught with the perfect sentiments. LOVE the video!! Thank you for sharing that.

Here is my BSM

that top shot of your daughter with her hair blowing across her face is just magic.
mine's a bit more mundane: waiting

This weekend was full of Cheer, Dance and Children’s activities. Rarely do I stop to realize that soon my 15 year old daughter will be leaving for college…
So here is my contribution to the fleeting moment

Such an amazing video, it's everywhere these days!!

I agree with Megan that the top photo is utter magic. And the video brought tears to my eyes. I didn't capture any fleeting moments with my camera today, but I caught them with my mind's eye and that's enough. Thank you for reminding me to make them matter.

Oh, your first image is makes me smile, and I DO love that video.

I have a moment...

My third shot down is my BSM. I love patterns. I was intrigued w/ the effect of shooting this weeping willow from looking up. I think I am finding my way, slowly, with what I want to do with my art--now that I've reconnected with her after 35 years of neglect. I have been trying to figure out why I am drawn to trees and skies when I photograph. Today I shot tons of shadows on the snow. I am drawn to mixed media and I think I want to incorporate these images onto canvas with words (I am a writer) and with paint. But I need to learn the how of the techniques of such mixed media making. I am taking a class this week. Anyone who can recommend what kind of paper I'd print my images onto for this type of recreation/transfer to canvas, I'd appreciate it! And, as always, I am so very open to critique of my photos. Like how could I do it better next time? What can I improve upon. Oh, and it's late and I did not go back and get a cheat sheet on how to to a live link. Dang...Thank you!

That video made me cry! The images are awesome ~ the words so powerful!

My weekend was really quite ordinary -- in the good way you talk about. I was lucky enough to capture this little moment.

February is filled with fleeting moments for me because it's my oldest's birthday. I just can't believe that this month will mark 9 years that she has been in my life. I'm taking February to remember the things that I love, probably will include a lot of that almost 9 year old.
My Best Shot

Wonderful collection from some wonderful women.

My best shot Monday

Fleeting makes me think of so many different kinds of moments that come and go through out a lifetime. I thought of them better personified in the shape of a rainbow.

exquisite photos. yes, magic always happens by the ocean with my children too. thank you to you and katherine for sharing love art.

you always say through your photos and words exactly what i am thinking - or wish i could say. beautiful. and i love being reminded of those moments, too.

we had a practically perfect evening over the weekend as well.

yes ...slow motion is right Tracey...i see it and feel it...I was rushing to send off my daughters college applications...talk about fleeting moments! It was a clear cold afternoon at the post office and i snapped this photo on my way in, my camera was set on black and white...

I know how you feel. Sometime I look around at my life and think about how incredibly lucky I am. In that vein, here is my post. Not exactly fleeting, and not exactly one moment. It's my birthday, and I compiled a few of my favorite photos of me through the years...

We had a lovely, snowy weekend - something that in our mild climate is always fleeting.

Any time I see this link...I HAVE to watch it...it is so on time and perfect for what I need.

"I do know I never want to take another day for granted."
yes, yes to all of that. i feel like my life is shifting, and beauty and light is pulling me closer. and it's lovely to know that you are near.
