The Daily Post presents a Weekly Photo Challenge each week.
Here’s the link to this week’s challenge.
This week’s challenge is to find a photo that epitimizes the word “Close”.
Here are two versions of one photo that really define the word to me.
Cousin with God-Son… Close
Cousin and God-Son = Close
It’s a beauty, eh? I also love this one of the family, which has suddenly become a family of 3.
Close = The New Family of 3
And here’s another for good measure 
ZzzzzzzzZZZzzzzz…. Close
I invite you to either visit The Daily Post, and submit your own photos for this week’s challenge, and/or leave comments and feedback here on my chosen photos!
Until Next Time,
R.G. Riles

awww precious
great pictures 
Thanks Vandy!
Wish I could say I took these photos, but I did take them from my cousin’s website and process them a bit. For Christmas, I took all 1300+ photos they had, made a really clean color copy, then made “aged” and “black and white” copies for them in Adobe Lightroom (love that program). I put some of the best in a large-print scrapbook, and put the rest on disks and micro-memory chips so they could share and put them in digital photo frames. I’m a photo nut – so I think I may have liked the present more than they did, but it was a fun project nonetheless.
wow That’s great
Kudos !
Wonderful
Thanks Northern. FYI to all new to my blog – I cover a wide variety of topics. But, if you love these photos, you’re quite likely to like these two posts as well, which are of the heart-warming variety:

of course by “two posts” I meant “three”
Beautiful and tender.
Thank you, Marion. I think my cousin is a little self conscious of these photos, for one reason or another, but the emotions are pure and palpable in these photos. Really feel the love… the close-ness, if you will.
So sweet!!!
They are lovely photos!
Perfect! The child is evidently comforted and he felt so secured…
