Kids' Kingdom

Looking back on this 7-year-old blog, I realize that this photo is a far better portrait than the one of the four girls I originally posted below.  (My niece is 17 years old now... no longer a denizen of Kids Kingdom.)

Amazing how well four third-graders (my niece among them) can line up to pose with no direction at all!

Le tout petit bout du 'Clear Lake'

I'm cheating by including this photo. After posting the first photo (just to 'kick off' this photoblog), I decided to make this a true photoblog and post a new photo a couple of times a week (or more often). But already I'm breaking my promise because I love this one so much that I'm posting it anyway. (And, hey -- nobody's looking!)

(It's from the best series of photos I've ever taken: "Weekend chez Bart, July 2006. " The scenery was so gorgeous that I had my first Ansel Adams moment -- minus the talent and the equipment and technique, bien sûr!)
