A “Splashing” Good Time

Alright, I obviously didn’t take this first one.  Credit where credit is due, Dawn took this shot of me and Audrey on a jet-ski.  what fun we had.  Audrey drove for a bit and had it cranked wide open.  I spent my time hanging on and making sure we didn’t make any sudden turns at full throttle.  (Think self-preservation).

Here’s another splash.  Christian kicking water up in his wake as he swims toward the dock where I stood poised with camera lens trained on my boy.

Here’s my little Kayleigh suffering through a dog’s shake-off after retrieving a ball from the water (the dog retrieved the ball, not Kayleigh). 

Hey, do you smell something?

Dawn took this shot at the zoo with the kids.  I have no idea what the elephant was thinking, but I’m sure he got a snoot full of something.  I only hope he didn’t catch a rhinovirus.

Nine ladies dancing

From this view you can only count 8 ladies slippers, but there is one more hiding in the back.

Perseverance

Now for something completely different.

These are a year or so old, so the kids are much bigger now.

Here’s my boy with a bubble in his eye like one of those monocles.

Lavender Sky

Another Sunrise on the farm.  I never get tired of these. Tom

Sunrise

Probably my favorite thing to photograph on the farm (besides cranberries) is the sunrise.  This picture was take early one morning at harvest.  Before anyone had much gotten to doing any work, God had already painted the sky.  Tom
