B


TwentyEight Frames

The other day while I was working on the attached picture of "B", someone looked over my shoulder and said "Oh, you ALWAYS take such nice pictures of your kids.
I wish my kids would let me take pictures of them like that".
I would hate for anyone to operate under the false impression that it was easy to get good pix of the kids.
An exchange I had earlier today at work made me think about some pic I had taken at the beach last week.
Someone at work today tried (fiendishly) to get my kids to rat me out and admit that having their pictures taken was something less than a wonderful and loving bonding experience between mother and child .... o.k., I bribe them with candy and when that doesn't work I threaten them.
Don't judge me! I no different than any other mom.
So, for every beautiful picture I get to hang in my home, send to my family, or display in my office - there are a 100 others that look like these.
These are just 28 of ... oh, I dunno know, 100+ frames from the other day. I knew from the start that I had already lost the light I wanted, I had REALLY lost "S", and God knows I had lost what was left of my mind after a week at the beach.
I just kept taking shots just to see what other pained looks he could come up with.
Gotta admit, "B" is having fun.

I Like Cape May Quite A Bit!


Its not a thing like New Jersey!


As much as I prefer just about anywhere to the Jersey shore, my husband REALLY hates it! He won't even look eastward. But, the kids ... they want to see the ocean. The want to see the dolphins. They want .... so we go.


I have to say, I like Cape May. It didn't feel at all like New Jersey. We didn't get stuck in any traffic in either direction, there were no crowds or medical waste on the beaches, we got into restaurants when we wanted to .... it was actually lovely. And we got home just ahead of hurricane Bill.


whadayaknow!
