We're sharing "Up" photos all week long (see here for the Thematic Photographic entry that explains it all) so I thought I'd introduce this one of our youngest son playing at the beach.

I often write about our kids because, frankly, they're great subjects of conversation. Bright, kind, gregarious and empathetic, they're the perfect antidote to the kind of idiocy we usually run into in the real world (see yesterday's post for more.) They're not perfect, of course. Then again, neither am I. But there's a genuineness about them that I find refreshing. Definitely keepers, they are.

Your turn: Can you come up with a suitably funny and/or creative caption for this photo? Hope so! Here's how Caption This works.

About last week's photo of a homeless person in Toronto: I wrestled with whether or not I should post it. Then again, I often wrestle with stuff, and more often than not I end up hitting the Publish button. Better to apologize after the fact that ask permission beforehand. Please give a hand to this week's Honorable Menschens:

• Beverly: "I have a home, I just don't have a house to put it in."
• Colleen: "Can you spare a Starbuck?"
• Daryl: "Bag it!"
• Barb: "Cold Indifference."
• Hilary: "Baggers can't be choosers."

Dana (Awareness) takes it with her oh so poignant "Numbed." If someone ever forced me to choose five blogs to read and forbade me to read any others, hers would be on the list. She's a poet, writer, photographer, wife, mom, fellow Canadian, fellow critical thinker, and someone I'm privileged enough to call a friend. Please visit her site if you want to be inspired.
