15th February, wheels within wheels

Conor is trying to persuade me to buy a fancy new camera,
He keeps finding low prices and interest free credit.
The D70, he says, is what I need.
'I can't spend all that money on myself', says I.
There's the gas bill, insurance, mortgage, food, shoes, clothes etc...
If I get a new one, he has his eye on my current one.
Now he has let Aiden (above) borrow his little Olympus.
Aiden will get this when Conor inherits mine.
So the thinking goes...



and here are the pics Aiden took today (click below)

Guest 15-Feb-2005 21:27
Another B&W winner of your kids !!!
I wonder if he really wants you to treat yourself, or he has his eyes in your camera :-)
jude15-Feb-2005 21:23
Sweet smile on his face.. the kind of one that says he's thinking of something a bit sly.. "now if only I can convince ...."
Guest 15-Feb-2005 20:54
Hehe, this boy look really interested in new technologies !

Yet another utterly wonderful photo of one of your children. I have a suspicion that you will be so thankful for the potd project when these lovely children have grown and flown the nest....
