EXPLORING

"We must go out into the bypaths 

and untrodden depths of the wilderness
and travel and explore 

and tell the world 

the glories of our journey."
~ John Hope Franklin ~

One of my favorite things to do - besides taking pictures - is to go hunting and exploring for locations to take those pictures AT.  (not to mention spending time with these two grand kids:

Alex & Emma. But then, that goes without saying.)

I found a really cool place a couple of weeks ago so last night when I took the grand kids out for our weekly Grandma Date, we went exploring there. I had to GET A FEEL for the place for when I get the opportunity to photograph a group there. When we got back in the car Alex told me how "cool" the place was and how much he loved climbing on the giant cement culverts.  I think I'll take them back again before long just cause he said that.  
Since then .. I've got a photo shoot lined up in just two weeks where I get to use this cool location.  Needless to say:  I'm JAZZED!!

P.S.  contrary to what you might believe ... I DO NOT "pose" these kids ... they're so awesome!! They just DO THEIR OWN THING so I just have a blast!!!  They're NATURALS, what can I say?
