I love it! They do look so intense! Do you have her photo of the leaf with the hole in it? Cute grandchildren! I already bought KD her first camera that takes digital photos! Can't start them too early, right? We gave it to her for her 1st birthday but since it says for 3+ years her mamma wants to wait to let her use it, but I think next time I watch her alone I'm going to sneak it out of the closet just to see what she does with it! Too much fun having a grand baby in the house!
P.S. Do tell if your granddaughter got the photo and if you have it, maybe you would be willing to take a photo of it to post in the thread? #10557099

Love the intense look you managed to capture Rita. What I appreciate in this photo is how easy it seems to be for the two of them to be crouched on the ground...I recall those memories in a distant past-sure wish I has appreciated what my body was capable of doing back then...and I too am curious to see your grand daughter's leaf photo. #10557421

It's a great shot, Rita! You have such BIG leaves in Ohio. The last time I came to see Allison in Cleveland, we saw some gigantic leaves at the national park near Akron and also in the Botanic Gardens in town.

Had to laugh about the "sitting on the ground" comment. Something I don't think I will ever be able to do very well again. Still working on the foot. It is definitely getting better, though. #10558427
