"Pick'n Berries" Meyers D., age 2, July 1998.

I took this photo in my friend Pat's raspberry patch. Little Meyers D. was helping me pick and stopped for a break. She is a little blurry while the raspberries are in focus. I really like the look of it though, I think it gives the picture a wistful look. She looks older than her years and I wonder what she must be thinking about. Maybe it's, get me the hell-out-of-here, these pokeys are hurting me Mama!!

"Rustl'n Up Some Trouble" Max-Ay age 4 1/2, Mesa Arizona, October 2003

I love the look on Max-Ay's face in this photo, and the tattoo on his arm! Also, he has a baseball shirt on with his cowboy hat and a little FischerPrice cowby in his hand. I thought this wagon wheel and cactus was a perfect backdrop for this photo taken outside of a Mexican restaraunt. I have enlarged this B&W to an 8x10, framed it and have it hanging on my wall!

"T-Sam-E as the Christmas Story Kid" T-Sam-E, 2 1/2 years, Mt.St.Helen's,WA.

My hubby set my little boy up on a gaurdrail along the highway going to Coldwater Ridge Visitor's Center on the way up to Mt.St.Helen's. We were sledding with friends. This picture reminds me of Ralphie's little brother in the movie The Christmas Story, when his mom bundles him up for school, too well, and he runs down the sidewalk w/ his arms out yelling, "I can't move my arms!" I have this B&W framed with the one of Max-Ay and they are both hanging on my wall!

So here are my three entries, I hope you will have fun w/ me and submit some of your own!!
