It has been 5 days since my last post…
oh dear, its deer!
My parents have an enchanted back yard. Every couple of nights, the deer show up for a meal during the late evening. How cool is that?
Have a great evening folks.
my own personal giant
My father isn't particularly tall. He's just a bit shorter than me and we both weigh in the same neighborhood. However, in spite of his normal stature, he has been for many decades now, a towering figure in my life.
There is nothing he can't make fix, repair, or destroy as he deems necessary. He gives great advice…sometimes you don't even need to ask. He can be all macho man and ten minutes later, you will see him talking to the cat or loving on a baby.
At almost eighty, he still loves a good adventure, likes paddling his kayak, and can work all day. On the other hand, he really loves a good nap…especially when he has a cat snuggled up with him.
Well Dad, Pop, Grand Pa, PaPa, Father, Pop Pop….which ever name you choose…you are a giant in my world.
the wee one
What we have here is the newest and possibly the most smiling McMurdo family baby. He is the first of his generation and the son of my niece, Katie.
This is the first trip to Atlanta during which I had the chance to spend quite a bit of time with him. Did I say that he smiles? Maybe smile is not the right word. His entire face lights up. When the edges of his mouth begin to move upwards, his eyes grow wide, his head tilts back, and suddenly you are presented with a full facial, whole body, grin.
But, not in this picture. All of the grinning wore him out and he decided that his MiMi’s chest was the perfect place to lay his head and look at what his Uncle Tim is up to.
be quiet
Be quiet, Mummy is sleeping.
Tuesday, Josh and I visited the Michael C. Carlos Museum located on the Emery University campus in Atlanta, GA. It's a little known jewel of a museum with one of the best antiquities collections (European and the Americas) that I've seen in the U.S.
The last time we went, was when the kids were about twelve or so. We had lunch at Everybody's Pizza and then crossed the street to the museum. Unfortunately, Everybody's is no more, but the museum is still there, bigger and better than ever.
The building was designed so that both the exterior and interior leave you with the feeling that you are experiencing an ancient temple.
The museum was a great way to top off the afternoon after a day at the Aquarium and lunch at Willy's. You know that both Josh and I were packing cameras every step of the way. It's our thing.
Have a great day folks.
the Boy and I
The boy and I've spent the last couple of days shooting all over Atlanta and North Georgia. While sitting at lunch and talking yesterday, he grabbed my camera and took this portrait of me.
The Boy has got some skills. All I did was basic processing and a small crop. Yes sir, that is my progeny behind that photo. Just saying…
There is no telling
Who knows whose nose grows through the rows?
Not I said the sheep.
Have a wonderful Wednesday folks.
seeing the boy
Today is one of those wonderful days that have you giddy the entire week. I’ve been wearing a grin that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.
And what has had me gleeful with anticipation? Two days with the boy of course. I’ve missed him and this morning he starts his two days off and we are planning a whole bunch of fun. So, if it puts a smile on your face, think of me floating along like a balloon fully of happiness.
Woe unto him that tries to pop me.
Have a great day folks.
a meeting of the minds
Sometimes you have to get your heads together and solve your problems. Like, did you eat my share of the oats? You know I wasn’t finished, I was just getting a drink of water.
because
Sometimes you just feel like seeing a picture of chickens.
