Play dates and pictures.....

Much fun is had when you meet your friends at the park. I love meeting young, fun families at parks. It's what kids love the most, to run free, and it gets us adults out of the house and off the computer. Everyone wins, especially me who gets to run along side everyone and capture some giggles, tears and very often a stolen kiss.

I met my new friend, Ian , at Ryan Park in Palos Verdes. It was a beautiful California December day. The sun was out, the ocean breeze blew in from time to time as if to remind us that it indeed is winter, perhaps somewhere else. The birds sang their holiday songs from the tips of the tallest trees. It was a magical day.

As most of you know I am a huge fan of kids. They are my muse, all of them. Doesn't matter the age, sex or attitude each is divine in their own unique way. Saying that, 18 month olds are a riot to work with. They can be shy one moment and the next they are running around in circles showing off their great athletic skills. Ian was all of the above. We started off playing on the playground but soon found that all the slides were too wet to play on so we moved to the large grassy field to play around and take some pictures. Ian found a stick and we became best buds, exploring the fallen branches and pine cones, climbing the sideways trees. You name it we did it:)

Here are a few fun shots from our session.
