Mini-Essay: On Youth Gone By

<p>  Ten years ago when we moved in to this house we installed a swing set for DS. He is now sixteen so the set doesn't get much use anymore - hence the title. I realized a few days ago, though, that it would make a great subject for me to practice my photographic skills, and the following are some of the better shots. As usual, comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. In this case I'm thinking this could make a decent photo essay, so if you have comments on my sequencing I'd appreciate them as well.</p>
