While I was importing some new pictures of the kids today, I came across this picture. It’s nothing special – just a test shot that Toby took over a month ago while he was playing around with our 100mm Macro lens. I didn’t like it at all the first time I saw it. You can see that it’s been scratched from being worn day in and day out…

But for some reason, I fell in love with it today. I don’t love it in spite of the scratches, I love it because of them. I love that my ring has signs of being worn. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine – the same ring that I’ve had on my finger for all of the most important days of my life.

Sentimental? Yes. Too sentimental? Probably. Maybe I should stop listening to songs from The Notebook while I work…

Regardless, I love the end result and thought I’d share.
