This is another image I took while spending a week in Maine with my father. After making him look totally ridiculous in the Paranoia challenge, I am happy to enter this shot. It much more accurately reflects who my dad is. He is holding the cross he wears around his neck, and we were at the dining room table with some nice morning window light. This was taken on our last morning together at the cottage.
