I was in my rental car on a  rural road just outside the airport in Northwest Arkansas, on a business trip, when my eye caught this pair of derelict dwellings. I assumed the structures were abandoned. I liked the light, and stopped to take this shot.   But just after I took the shot and was starting to pull away, a young boy about 7-years old came out the front door with a ball.  He had a smile on his face as bright as the sun he and ran off as if he did not have a care in the world.  Bless him.  It was a reminder to be thankful for the multitude of blessing in my life. 

 I said a little prayer that life gives that boy the same opportunities that it has given me and that he never loses that bright smile.
