What is more wondrous than gazing upon a newborn baby?
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
~William Wordsworth

Oh how sweet!
I love the mom's expression in this picture. You're absolutely right...nothing compares to the wonder of new life.
I was wondering when I would see this type of "wonder" shot. Good idea:-) So sweet.

Thanks so much for commenting on my entry your shot is great nothing like a mom and a bundle of joy
Babies are such a wonder--beautiful picture!
The parents' expression, separate in their own amazement at this little life, yet connected in some silent way, is wonderful. Truly, a gem of a moment captured!
What a touching moment-dad and mom and new little son.
The miracle of the "circle of life"
That is my most favorite Wordsworth quote. Especially now and we are about to have some of the trailing clouds at our house. What a blessing.
Beautiful photo and such a perfect photo for this week's theme. Who can't help but "wonder" when looking upon a new baby..."will I be a good parent?" "what will he/she grow up to be?" "I wonder what they are thinking"
Wonderful job!
The face on the mama is so perfect, so precious!
Great picture

Precious! So, sweet.
Beautiful. I love this pose, with new parents and new baby.
So beautiful...congratulations on this well-deserved top ten winner!
Yay! You made top ten! Congrats. This is a lovely capture - the emotion you managed to convey with the shot is beautiful.
What a sweet, beautiful picture - you totally captured that feeling of wonder with a new baby. Sigh - it goes so fast. I cant believe mine is almost 6 months already! yikes!
