Havin fun down on the farm

With a break in the seemingly ENDLESS hot weather on the horizon, plans were made to tote the kids out to the farm for a day of fun and photo’s.  Shari and I have been trying for the better part of the summer (which is going FAST) to get this together and get some shots of her and the boys.  The self proclaimed “I hate having my photo taken” queen stepped down for the day and we had a great time.  Boys were as patient as little boys can be, and all in all it was a really fun, relaxing, soothing, mind relocating day.  Few shots added to flickr for your viewing pleasure. 

Saturday excursion

I ran away.  Not too far, but far enough to escape the madness that has become a day to day operation.  Now, you may be asking yourself, why would you take your day and run to  of all places?  Well, it started as a “I’m going to do the Soprano’s opening credit’s” kind of day, drove the route, shot the shots from the opening scene, and went to visit one of the most BEAUTIFUL railroad stations I have ever seen.  Had lunch in an AWESOME italian deli (Luca Brasi’s … oh yes) finished with cannoli, and felt all the stress and freakiness that has become rote proceedure melting away.  The city was hazy, but it was neat to see it “right there!”  Shots are up for viewing.

Friday Photo’s

To say the least, things have been stressful lately.  So friday, my ONLY goal was to set out, relax, and shoot some great photo’s to bring my mind back into balance.  Unfortunately, stress reared it’s ugly head, and once I had finished the ugly tasks, I was not only physically, but emotionally drained.  Go out?  Not a chance. 

Promising myself the photo op as a reward for jobs accomplished, I really needed to just grab the camera and hide.  Bodhi was for once a willing model, and I was able to spend a very happy hour rolling around on the floor with her and snapping away. 

Not what I had planned, but maybe what I needed.  End result, a great photo to have framed for shan of her baby, and a bit of relaxation for the old girl.

A Good Afternoon

Yesterday turned out to be an interesting afternoon, to say the least!  Shan was babysitting (yes, shannon) for a friend’s baby, so mom got an unexpected photo shoot in!  Aiden was an unbelievably fun subject to work with, unfortunately Shan and Alli wouldn’t move away from him long enough for me to get enough shots in!  I did pull a few good ones tho….thought I would share. 

It’s amazing how much fun it can be to have a baby around….especially when you know you can give it BACK!  One funny one…..Bodhi was not too keen on the baby idea, but Jake though it was way cool.  I’m sure he thought it was just another source of food..but at least he woke up long enough to take notice.

 

Anyway, the rest are on the photo site just for fun.
