It stopped raining for a little bit

Let it rain for a while, then you can have wet dirt

Thanks for the compliment. The jumping shot was all his idea though. I almost didn't take the shot.

Thank you!

With Jackson I have accepted the fact that I just sit back and record his moment in time and don't try to shape it into anything different.

That is what little boys are all about

My daughter is turning 11 and it's hitting me hard. I've been home on vacation for a week with the little guy and I don't want to go back to work because I'll miss what goes on in his day.

Nicholas just turned 7 months and I realized he is more than half way to his 1st birthday I have soooo enjoyed having a baby around again. He will be here tomorrow from 10 a.m. until midnight...I'll pick Aaron up from school at 1230. It is my favorite day of the week

haha...what a cute kid, lovely DOF and use of the rule of thirds...great set

Great colors man... I miss my time in USNA with the four season and all... In Malaysia we have 3 season only... (HOT, HOTTER, HOTTEST) ha ha ha...

Love the hat! and I really like the last image with his foot propped up like that...looks very "kid-like"...
great series and cute kiddo!

Thanks for commenting. He has lots of personality but unfortunately for me he doesn't like getting his picture taken.

Yeah, my oldest girl suffers from the same issue...well, 3 of the 4 do. The other ones aren't as bad though....and number 4 is 8 weeks old so he doesn't have a choice...although more thought has to be given as he needs to be staged and thus I haven't taken many shots that I really like with him thus far....congrats on the sun being out, and nice shot.

I like the first shot. Wish the jump shot was shot from lower angle.

Thank you. I can't take much credit for the colors, the trees did all the work there.

Thank you. I liked the way he was looking away and shuffling his foot too. He was moving his hands around in his pockets fidgeting too but that doesn't come across.

Thank you. Looking back I would have done a few things different in the jumping shot. I was really setting up for a completely different type of shot but the light wasn't cooperating and I was losing my son's attention so when I saw the opportunity I grabbed it.
