A day with my son
















Max spent the night with my mom last night so Sam and I got up early this morning and I took him to the Botanical Garden for the first time. I don't think Max would like it and Sam didn't think so either. I gave Sam my digital camera and let him loose while I used Chuck's, which didn't have a freshly charged battery so my camera time was limited today. Sam took about 275 pictures before he used up all the battery in my camera! I think I need extra batteries! Anyway, he loved the garden and said, "It's like a zoo for plants"! And that is exactly it. And today, we covered the ENTIRE garden. By the time we got home, I felt like I walked around Disneyland all day! I'm dead tired with aching feet and legs. Anyway, I think I may have created a monster... you guys should have seen Sam with a camera! He went nuts! And most of his pictures turned out fantastic! Here are a few of my favorite shots taken by Sam, my 8-year-old!


I took this one of Sam towards the end of the day. I caught him sitting and just daydreaming a bit while watching a lizard.

My theory is that Sam gets his photography skills from his mother. You both took beautiful photos of captivating subjects.
