Paola, the youngest of the three Twisters, came last week to the house for a brief visit. She was hungry, so my wife hastily prepared some mashed ripe plantains and eased her hunger.
While she was being fed by my wife with a small spoon, I saw the scene in my head, and thought it would make a good picture; so I dashed to my home office and fetched my Birthday Camera.
This is what I captured for posterity. When Paola grows up, she can go back in time and see with her own eyes how she was fed one lazy Sunday morning. As Stuart Spipahigil once wrote, “Photographs are moments, pieces of time that are captured to look at again and again.” Here we go.

The last photo is cute and lovable, but isn’t that second a marvelous capture of what a baby’s all about? Discovery! Fingers, floor, trees, food, leaves, mama… on and on it goes!
Hello Linda:
We always have a ball when The Twisters “blow” over to our house. Paola is as close as you can get to a real angel.
Yes, she is discovering her world every time she opens her curious eyes. We did the same thing when we were young.
Regards,

Hola Omar: Su sobrina Paola está muy linda. Tiene unos ojos orientales muy lindos. El disco duro de mi ordenador fue partido en dos, formateado y vaya! sujeto a un montón de procesos… Para rematar, la empleada tiene 15 días más de incapacidad y yo, a punto de caer a lo largo… jaja Bellas también las fotos de Panamá. Saludos a su esposa. Cuídense. Hilda
Hola Hilda:
Gracias por sus bellas palabras de aliento para un fotógrafo en formación. Lamento mucho los daños a su computador, pero es parte de usar tecnología. No siempre es fiable. Yo también he pasado por esas calamidades.
Espero que su empleada se recupere para que Usted pueda descansar. A nuestra edad hay que cuidar mucho la salud.
Abrazos,
Omar.-
