The weather could not have been better, nor the colors more vibrant, nor the sun in more of a kissing mood than at our fun session at the farm with the Gaby family. Please excuse my indulgence; I can’t help but use sappy adjectives for these heartwarming photos:
There were fluffy white clouds hovering playfully below the brilliant sky. <<sigh>>
There was a sleek new barn-style building cutting into the cloudscape. And amber waves of grain.
And fruited plains.
And the pinkest roses you’ve ever seen.
And a camera-shy praying mantis reluctant to smile, but polite enough to hold still for a quick portrait. Look at those eyes!
But, most importantly, there was the farm-loving, happy-to-be-here Gaby family.
After some light stone tossing…
…it was a good time to take advantage of the superb flying conditions,
and mommy kisses.
Then the little one acted tough…
…while he did some barn window bird watching…
…while mom and dad did some watching of their own. Love birds.
Then it was back to playful childishness!
Later, we took a wood-side stroll through a glimmering, sun-streaked garden.
By and by we came to the leaf-strewn boardwalk of a small wooden footbridge stretched stalwartly over a silent stream…
…and lingered.
But there was more to do and see. Little ones love a good adventure!
And hiding.
And imitating dad.
<<pause>> Head shots.
<<continue>> More strolling led us down a winding gravel path, into a faux-barn (it wasn’t red!).
Later, outside the barn: Moo.
Finally, the inseparable trio relaxed on a knee-high stone wall near a lively green and bristly shrub for a timeless keepsake moment.
The End.
