The kids got out of school early a couple of days last week, so Nette and I decided to take them for a walk in the park.  Enjoy!

peace.

Jude was happy that we might see an alligator or two.  We normally can’t get him to smile for anything…

Uh oh…

We actually did see one!  It was about a 5 or 6 footer sunning itself in the lake

It was amazing how close we were able to get to some of the wildlife!  I shot all day with an 85mm lens (on a cropped sensor; so about a 130mm equivalent…) but you can see just how close this heron allowed me to come!

    I really dig that long shot of the brush [the pic right after the one of ‘Nette and the kiddos]. Very nice.

    Love the family pics. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see pics of the kids every month! How’s that for some accountability. :) Love you guys!
