Description
What awaits this child of four seen peering out of a train window. This child is actually the photographers grandaughter. Photo taken at age 4. She is 16 now. The photo was taken when riding on her first train, an excursion out of Old Sacramento. She had her left hand on the window, I took the photo. This is what my eye saw.

Jim this is the most touching photograph I have seen in a while. The innocence in her gaze! I completely hear your message and join in as my Grandchildren are my life's inspiration. Like You, this question is beyond words at least here ;-) Congratulations to You and Hailey. May They all have a Thriving Future filled with Love, Joy and Success.

Thank you Rafael for your heart-felt reply. My thoughts go out to your and your grandchildren. I am so happy that a photograph I took 12 years ago affects you in such a good way today. You made my day.

I hope she has a bright and beautiful future, our children and grandchildren are everything. I have 5 granddaughters ages 3 - 15 and I can only hope the world treats them well. Your photo here touches my heart. I adore the younger ones so much with their contagious and precious imagination and magical charms! :)
Jim Thompson replied:
Thank you Sharon. I am thankful that you find it so heartwarming. She is 16 now and has her first job. We love her and our other grandchildren with all of our heart. No greats yet. Hope that doesn't happen for a while yet. Hailey (above) is the oldest of 3.
