 This is what makes me feel really good, when my son is happy. Now just over 10 months old, he has become much more playful and interactive. On a recent trip to my dad's cabin I brought out my old Tonka trucks from when I was a kid. He instantly started to push them around, and try to climb in them. The smiles were just beaming off his face while he played.

Nothing is more fun to a young boy than big trucks and grass to play on

Nothing like letting a baby play with an old rusty toy. LOL It's amazing that there were no safety standards "back when." What an adorable little guy.

One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Somebody's having a good time!
