next door memories





Between grandfather Eligio exclaiming,” foto! Foto!” every time he finds something beautiful or unusual and just the ordinary scenarios that I find beautiful I have a memory card full of everyday memories. I have pictures of armadillos, a one day old baby sheep, an orange tree loaded with juicy fruit, a bird with a white band of feathers and more. the best part is that Eligio also has figured out the camera. Sometimes the photos don't turn out the best, but it sure is fun the watch him with the tiny red camera and hear him shout "oikopora" (it came out well) and give me a thumbs up. The snapshots I captured are of Kai Eligio helping his granddaughter, Dalila try on new tennis shoes he bought for her in town. Dalila’s grandmother, Naty broke her arm a few weeks ago and Dalila is focused on helping send a text message. I decorated her cast with my permanent markers and before it comes off I hope to have it entirely colored. The hard part is getting her to sit still. Even with a broken arm she’s always busy.
