We’ve been browsing through pictures in our Picasa photo albums and there are so many pictures that we go back to again and again. More often than not, my favorite pictures seem to be the happy result of great lighting, great composition and great subject matter that seem to come together at just the right time. So, periodically, I want to try to remember to upload these favorites to the blog and give a little background on them. I tend to think of this blog in terms of recent, up-to-date news on what’s going on, but I need to remember that the main goal is to document our family through the years – even those pre-blog years.
This picture was taken one warm summer night when Mick made this two-seater swing. Mom’s cousin, Suzy, spotted the plans for it in a Lowe’s flyer. She gave them to me because she thought it was something Mick could easily do. She was right: he put it together in an evening and the girls had to try it out right away. The sun had just set and I really didn’t have enough light left to get this shot. So many of the other ones I took were blurry, but again, somehow, everything came together at just the right moment: the lighting, the tall corn as a backdrop, the girls’ bare feet and joyful, carefree expressions that kids so often have in the summertime. I love it!
