I would like input. A picture tha envokes the smell, carefree play , and bonding of a childs time spent with grandmother.

I'd say soemehing like grandma pulling cookies out of the oven. with the aftermath of a mess from the child helping make those said cookies in the background. grandmothers always let kids play and get messy more than parents do so that thought evokes the smell(cookies coming out of the oven) as well as bonding and carefree. especially if the grandma were pretty messy too and both of them smiling and or laughing. does that make sense?

YES! I just did not know if this was too quaint for every one. I love pictures that make me feel, taste and smell things.

Under 10 child on a porch, blowing bubbles with grandma.

Grandma, in "expected grandma attire", with a baseball hat and glove pitching to an appropriatley dusty and grubby little boy on the front lawn.

Grandpa on porch with guitar, grandson with harmonica.

Hanging laundry on a clothes line, the little one probably standing on a stepstool, or actually IN the clean clothes basket if they are really small.

A group of boys by a pond with nets and frogs, grandma with her pants a rolled up or her skirt hitched up, right there with them.

Grandma harvesting from the garden, grandchild holding the basket of veggies.

Blueberry picking together, Kid covered in blueberry face, grandma with blueberry stained hands. Or, grandma putting berries in the basket, kid eating them double fisted out of the basket - grandma with that forgiving/doting look on her face.

Grandparents tend to let thier grandchildren do a lot of thier regular lesiure activites with them as "little adults", and also let them get away with things that mom and dad would deem as "trouble". I personally take that route when given a grandparent-grandkid shoot. Hope that helps a little.

Wow--- What insight. Is there a limit to how many challenges can be posted?

Any limit on what is considered a child? Mine's 23 and her grandma is 87. They still bond well, tho'!

On limit on age. I just want to focus on the enchantment of the moment.
