Testing out a new lens...

I recently purchased a new lens and needed to put it to the test.  We spent a beautiful summer day having lunch at Barney Gargle's, visiting the candy train at the Forks and watching some skateboarding.  "T" seemed to be in an unusually cooperative mood (at least when it came to taking photos) so I made the most of it with him.  The new lens is definitely a keeper.  Now I have my eye on the f/1.8 85mm.

The Brown-Eyed Geese Chaser

It was great to see "I" again.  This time it was for his one year old photos.  I was once again struck by his amazing dark brown eyes!  We spent a great morning at the park, chasing soccer balls, dinosaurs, fish, cats and GEESE!  I was amazed at how fearless "I" seemed to be when it came to the geese.  He obviously has more of an appreciation for them than I do!

 Apparently his soccer ball is his most prized poccession.....maybe this is the next Beckham!

 I LOVE the reflection of his hands in this shot!

 Who just turned one!  "I" did!

And the Winner is.....

For the past few years, I've donated a prize package to a silent auction in support of Operation Christmas Child.  The silent auction is a part of the annual Rosenort Festival.  This photo session was for last year's winner.  I spent a lovely morning out in Rosenort, exploring the river trail (which I had never been down before) and meeting some new friends.  Thanks for a lovely morning.  It really was perfect!
