Grandfather and his grandchildren
I took this photo on a warm September day. We were visiting my father in law and my daughter and son had a conversation with grandpa on the porch of his house -suddenly grandpa uttered a remark, that made all of them laugh...I don´t remember the words anymore, but this moment of joy, proximity and family closeness made me chose this photo for my Best photo in 2011.

May you experience joy and closeness to people around you !
