Mountain Man
Canterbury, June 2013
This morning Dash and Gabriel were playing quietly in the lounge. After a while, Gabriel came running to get me... ‘I’ve made Dash into a mountain!’ he declared proudly. I found my youngest buried under a huge pile of blankets, giggling. Mountain Man promised to stay very still while I ran to fetch my camera. He’s very obliging when it comes to posing for photos (most of the time).
The boys are so accustomed to me pointing cameras at them that they seem to quite enjoy it now. After I took this shot, Monty, Milo & Gabriel all piled in to get their picture taken too. Looking back at this image now, in 2022, Milo says: ‘When Dash was about three, I think he was the cutest human I have ever seen!’
