 this is my grandson Jack ..

noticed the challenge was going in for voting today and wondered if i had anything worth entering .. my daughter visited the other day and we went to the park .. i love the pure joy and happiness in this photo ..
so i thought why not enter it ..
did a quick black and white conversion ..

hope seeing this happy smiling baby will change the colour of someone's day ..

btw .. the headband is to stop him pulling out his hearing aid ..

after rollover ...
thankyou so much everyone for your lovely comments during voting ..
and i'm very glad so many ppl smiled when they saw this pic ..
i have to say Jack got me the red ribbon with his infectious smile and his joy ..
