"The Field Of Flowers"
Today was one of those wonderful Michigan days, the kind you just like to spend outdoors. Not too cold, not too hot, but just right. A day just right to get some picture perfect images of the little ones you love.
Today I didn’t have to pick up the grandkids, so I finally had time to plant my strawberry plants in the Gorchard. Well, that’s what my family calls it anyway. I have rhubarb, currents, grapes, apples, blue berries, raspberries and four bee hives to keep them producing. Located just behind the cozy forest, I find my refuge there.
Tomorrow, however, chaos returns and it will be time for the camera. You see, at this time of year the little ones explore the cozy forest and the gorchard for any kind of bugs, worms or snakes they can find. Spring brings out all kinds of things, the forest is greening nicely, and the warm sun feels good after the cold, dark and dank winter. It’s a wonderful time to make sure that you have your camera ready to take them outside to explore nature while you capture some beautiful picture perfect images of them! It’s very simple and easy to apply an artistic filter on your image using Photoshop and then have your wonderful work printed on canvas to enjoy!
One of the best times to photograph children is when they are happy, full of energy and exploring the newly emerging world with the wonder only children seem to have. They will turn over rocks, sticks and fallen tree limbs to discover what is hiding there. With luck they may scare up a rabbit or two, but hopefully not a skunk.
I say that because years ago one of our sons, and our dog, cornered a skunk, determined to do it in. They may have succeeded at that, but the skunk got its revenge. After a couple of baths in tomato juice he smelled OK to me, so I sent him off to school. Shortly the phone rang and the principle told me our son smelled like skunk.
My reply? Again? So, I told the principle to teach him not smell him and left them to their problem.
Ah, life in the cozy forest.
