Mom and baby

Uploaded: June 21, 2011

Description

A friend and I spent the day at the St. Louis Zoo. Had a wonderful time, except the heat!! This is mom and her new baby....a difficult image to capture. She was really high on the rocks, people around, windows and low lights. I did manage to get a few and was happy with this one. The baby was so darn cute!! Have a great day!!

Hey Shelly, I like the set-up and the background. Very cool shot. And no, that wasn't my teepee...it was too small! :-) #9539113

Look at that face! PRICELESS! HA! This is SO one of a kind, Shelly! I hope the judges love this one. I sure do!

Good to be in your gallery again today. :D

HEY! What happened to our DDR classes? Want to learn some new things in September once things slow down for me? Is that a good time for you? Seems to me you wanted some layering help?

Let me know!

-Laura :D

(I am still trying to get over you and Gina being friends for years! What a small world! VERY NEAT!) #9595813
