Serious Conversation

Dad and Stacy seem to be having a serious conversation. It would be fascinating to know what about.
 

Dirt Boy

Colin does love to play in the dirt but this time he managed to get it on his face.
 

Bright Start

A beautiful show by the early sun on clouds.

 

Enjoying the Hummingbirds

We have hummingbirds all summer and I spend time enjoying them but also trying to photograph them. The latter is a study in frustration. Howard captured this one.
 

Hedgehog Hair

The water gave Adam and Colin hedgehog hair.

 

Reflections

So tranquil.

 

Gnome Beach

So many gems when you go for a walk.

 

A Koala Hug

Hayden got to hold a koala while she was visiting Stacy in Australia.

 

Who Will Crash First?

Surprisingly, no one wiped out although Colin and his new friends got the spinner going rather fast. It would have made me nauseous.
 

They Keep Falling

I continue to see trees losing large branches, even without a storm. This one fell across Outlook near us.
 

Backpack Blessing

The kids were getting their backpacks blessed for the coming school year. They were supposed to hold them up so some covered their faces. Lowell and Vala are sporting some face-paint from the night before.
 

Hiccup Pickup's Road Trip

Jim "Mr. Stinky Feet" Cosgrove signed a copy of his new book, Hiccup Pickup's Tasty Road Trip, for Colin and Adam. They also enjoyed a reading of the book by Jim with commentary by the artist, Dan Regan.

 

What A Wonderful World

Some inspiration while driving from the car we were following.
 

Let The School Year Begin!

First day photos, courtesy of their parents.

 

Grandpa Morgan Playing

Extracted from a movie so the quality isn't great but it's one of the few photos I remember of my grandfather actually playing with me. He has his hand on Barney and you can see Fred Flintstone. The flapper doll was also a birthday present. 1962
