Kids + Park = photos

It wasn’t just me. Every mom and their dog had a camera at the park on Sunday. There were even some cameras as big as mine (I think my 300mm lens outdid them all ). It’s almost impossible for a parent to watch their kids play at the park and not take a photo.

A few days ago I posted about not posting much this summer. Well I’m not keeping my word yet as I have posted the last two days now. I promise though, I will be posting less.

I played a little with the over used vintage look. Nostalgia fits well with these images. My husband and I often talk how time is flying and looking at the photos in this light makes me appreciate even more so that these times are quickly passing. Soon I’ll have two teenage boys that take everything in life for granted…especially me. Right here in these moments I have two boys that know how to seize the day!

Yesterday was a good day. We actually had three meals outside, well almost. By the time supper was ready the kids were in meltdown mode. Afterall, they are not use to being out in the sun all day! I don’t know if it even hit 20 degrees but we were in shorts and tee’s all day. I grabbed this shot just before heading off to church in the morning.

I got lots of great shots yesterday. Tomorrow is suppose to rain so I might have a few more posts this week than expected!! Happy Sunning!

The Sun has peeked out after at least a week. I’m feeling like I need some fresh photos. However, I have been enjoying family time over the last little while. With the sun showing itself I am reminded of the sweet things of summer. Here is an image I am working on to replace my ‘white winter’ series. This was shot in July ‘07 on a hot summer deck with BBQ smells, tastes of wine and best of all family by the ocean!! We’re celebrating my husbands birthday tonight and had hoped to BBQ, alas the BBQ is just too cold and unforgiving! There’s blue sky above so for tonight that will have to do.
