6 years old

Characteristics of a 6 year old:
You MUST change your earrings everyday to match your outfit, no matter what.
You CAN be sweet and sassy (Even at the same time)
You lost your first tooth (Oh how I love that jack-o-lantern style grin)
You know just how to aggravate your brother
People can’t spell words they don’t want you to know anymore – no sir. You can figure those out quick.
You dance in the livingroom, watching your reflection in the tv to make sure you’ve got the moves right
And last – your smile can light up a room – and mommy & daddy’s heart. (yeah, that definitely means you’re 6)

I need your help…

Shaun here…. I participated for the second year in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk in New Haven, CT. It is a GREAT event where people of all photographic skill levels and backgrounds can come together and have a nice time doing what they enjoy… Taking Pictures. I would like to do some of these on a smaller scale with some photog friends of mine and anyone else who is interested in taking some pics or learning more about photography. More on that to come…

As you may recall, Last year I posted some pics of my photowalk in Hartford, CT. This year I picked out a few images that one person or another mentioned that they liked and I am going to post them below. I would like you to leave a comment telling me which two you like the best. I will submit those two images to the New Haven photowalk site to have a chance to win some pretty cool prizes. So if you wouldn’t mind, I would love to hear your input!!

Thanks,
Shaun

It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!

We had some wildlife in our front lawn recently. We were very surprised to see them there….out in the open., near traffic and people. Not the usual. My kids were amazed. I HAD to get some pics. So I waited for them to come around. I got my camera out with the long lens on, of course. I sneaked around the side of the bush and crouched down, trying to be inconspicuous. I kept the lens up to eye, waiting for the right moment. It’s very tricky, you know. I was doing it all National Geographic style. The kids were watching with anticipation from the front window. We didn’t want any sudden moves…you never know what could happen. And, low and behold, they appeared. And this is what I saw….

No offense to any of my mothers out there, but these may have been the cutest babies I have ever taken pictures of. All in all there were 7 of them. 7 baby bunnies in my front yard… that has to be good luck somehow!!

3 years old

Characteristics of a 3 year old:
You CAN be batman and spiderman in one day (phew! that clears up that myth!)
You can survive on lollipops alone (if someone would only let you)
The surface you’re walking on can turn to hot lava at ANY given moment (very tricky)
You know just how to aggravate your sister (even if she IS older than you)
You can catch frogs like it’s your job (well, it IS your job)
You have the ability to carry on a conversation and not pronounce any S, F or L sounds at the beginning of a word. (example, My wittle doot is tilly. Translation: My little foot is silly.)
And last – you have the CUTEST little grin ever. (yeah, that definitely means you’re 3)

Happy Birthday little man!

VACATION

I just returned from a vacation on the Cape. Despite a bit of rain, it turned out to be a really nice week. I’m trying to get myself back into work mode – but it’s a slow transition. Laying on the beach, sipping sangria, listening to the sounds of the waves…..you get the idea. It’s hard to step back into reality. Sooo…I’m reliving it one last time in this post.

We stayed in a quaint beach house just a short stroll from the beach. Picture: a big inviting deck on the front of the house, a tire swing hanging on the back tree, beautiful wild flower gardens, and a large wood sided house that had windows that swung open like shutters. The inside was cottage – meets shabby chic. I couldn’t have thrown all the new modern elements together with the old antique pieces and made it look that good. I wish I could have bottled up all the cozy goodness and brought it home with me. Instead, I took a bunch of pics. Anytime I want to go back….I take a stroll through these. Oh, or I look at the 2 hermit crabs who found their way home with us. :)
