My 10-year-old grandson Kyle and I took a walk around downtown Sylvania today, up and down Main Street. It was a beautiful sunny blue-sky day. We had done the same last night, when they lit up the annual Christmas Tree. But today I handed him my camera and said: "Here, take photos of some of your favorite things!" He was happy to do it. The collage above shows some of his photos, and one I took of Kyle standing next to the Sylvania symbol of a planted maple leaf. The city of trees. He pointed that out to me. He loves his hometown, and he knows it well. I learn from him. And I see things differently through his eyes. It's a wonderful world!
