Mike,
You have done very well with your God given eyesight........ and of course these are cute images! But there is so much more here! Therein just 3 snaps lies considerations far more powerful than mere sentimentality and prettiness.
I'd offer that in your three pictures, Mike, are paths of the master metaphor of "Life as a Journey"! The first is reflective and life seems to move back to the immediate present time. The second looks to the future while the last is reflective of past present and future!
