When it was decided we would meet at Westlands park, I wasn’t sure what we would find (beyond the playground). But I remembered the trees south of the playground and the paths that wound their way though them. I knew we would have fun down there. And we did! Trees to play in, paths to run on and a hill to climb up.
 
An old friend of mine lives in the square state too. We got together a couple weeks back so I could photograph them in their new, old house.
While in So Cal I reconnected with these guys. They came up with a great way to incorporate their backyard chickens into their photographs. Last time I visited, I ooh-d and ahhh-d about all the cool things their little yard holds. Chickens, garden, fire pit. I’m sure there is more. Pretty much all you could ever want. I believe fish was briefly mentioned. That certainly would complete the backyard garden… I’m sure that won’t come for awhile since #3 just arrived the other day. That baby was ready. I saw all the signs. So glad she made it.
with the sound of silly kids. In spite of major silliness, we got some awesome shots.
Love this little guy. Can’t wait to see him at one year. He has grown so much since the last time I saw him . Such a sweet little guy and a beautiful day at Chautauqua. More to come…
