Julie, I can't tell you how long I've been sitting here with these photos and this text. This is a really powerful post today, everything works, fits together, and takes flight. Outstanding work.
In response to your question about the Frost farm, the one near Bennington is a little over an hour away, the other (the one he moved to after the death of his wife) is more like two hours. I'm not likely to make the trip any time soon. Sorry.
As some of you will recognise, this is, indeed, my father. He is a rich source for me as he continues on this final journey. I spend time with him, and talk with him, and use him as a subject: all with his permission. We flit around Sydney with our thermos and biscuits and the era we inhabit can range anywhere from 1932 to 2002. Increasing dementia has knocked out the last decade. He likes to sit in the sun and I wander with my camera, remaining always within his sight. You will see more of him.

1st and last shots are just great! Wonderfully composed!
Juxtaposition of photos and text = perfect.
The children, senior citizen, and birds are all playing in their own way.
Just shows how we need to live for the moment. Time passes all too quickly.
Hi Julie,
Nice shots are about life attractive children and calm,still old man. That's the sum of life. Thanks...
I love the look of the elderly gentleman in the last photo. The composition works well with him to the side and green park filling the space.
Had never heard of Gerontius so had to google it ... now I understand. I love Balmoral beach.

I'm pretty sure I recognize that "senior citizen." He's your dad, isn't he?
