reflection

The boys had veteran's day off. After we went to Ybor 1701 Studios for portraits, we went downtown to the Glazer Children's Museum. Outside the building is a mosaic made up of mirrors and decorative glass.

eureka springs

I had heard about this park and wanted to check it out for a future photo walk. I finally did one morning. It is a small park tucked between 2 interstates and a small airport. It is a nice park for quiet strolls. I don't think it would be very interesting for a group of photographers. There are few flowers besides what you see in this photo. There is a boardwalk which circles the back of the park. I could not see much but the swamp, nor hear much but the small planes. I wonder if the planes scare away the birds.

two balloons

We see balloons over our house now and again. Our dog Duffy used to get freaked out by them and start barking. They do get rather low. Some day, I might actually get some decent shots.

I usually avoid mirrors. Especially ones at playgrounds that tend to distort in the wrong way. But this made me laugh.

On the railroad tracks in Ybor City.

boys on the pier

I asked the boys to stand in front of the pier posts. Andy stands against it like he is tied to it. Ryan is ready to escape. Sigh.

When we take portraits, I let the boys be themselves. To a certain extent. Towards the end, Ryan was getting bored and grabbed his bible and sat in the chair.

trespassing

The boys didn't have school on Thursday. It was Veteran's Day and a day built into the school calendar in case of hurricane days. But since they put it in a few years ago, they haven't had to use it. I took the boys back to Ybor for more studio practice. We got there early and walked on the railroad tracks. Well, Andy walked on the tracks. Ryan was worried about a train coming even though I said he would have plenty of warning.
