Because I love taking Pictures!

Mac n Cheese went exploring with mommy today.  During winter it is not always easy to get myself out and even harder to find inspiration while I am freezing.  Today was different though.  My sweet boy was willing to venture under a freeway to park our car and walk across a complete blind spot of a hair pin turnaround just to get up to the bridge. We held hands and cuddled and ran and hopped a little too. He asked me to carry him back and told me about the men we met on our adventure.

Along the way we met several men, one I think was waiting in his truck for a work call, others were unloading fishing gear, and one was just a travelin' man with his belongings packed tightly in his grocery bag.  We smiled and said hello and shared some space with these people for just a little bit. 

I had no intention of being inspired by this little walk, so I didn't bring my camera.  But, by the grace of God or out of sheer habit instilled in me by my dear husband, I had my cell phone camera.  I took a memorable shot that I want to share with everyone.

I doctored two of them. But, the original is just a little crop to get into the subject of the shot (no zoom lenses or manual settings to help me paint this shot).  I am considering another crop for more dramatic results but, so far I like these versions okay.

Lesson Learned: If going anywhere, take a camera! You might just get your artsy fartsy shot or maybe be a witness to something hilarious (like that hubby?). You just never know.  Just don't leave your camera in  your car EVER!
