But not only was the weather perfect, and the light fabulous...
our Red rooster didn't bother us even once, and the kids dug in their sand-paraboloid with complete and utter joy.
Dare I also say the moisture content of the sand couldn't have been better? It's true.
But if I've learned anything as a mom, I've learned this: beautiful serene moments like these are, truly, only fleeting moments. As I lay there in the grass shooting my happy kids bathed in my favorite kind of light with my piece-o-crap Rebel, I knew. I knew the clock was ticking.
And the micro-second I turned my head?
The little Bean ran.
She ran far far away.
Thank you Lord, for barbed wire fences that have seen much better days, yet still do a fine job of slowing the escape of any semi-domesticated critters.

beautiful photos!
Love it!
Great post. It makes me chuckle how your kids don't even seem to notice that you're laying and crouching in the grass photographing them like a papparazzi (sp?? - not taking the time to dictionary.com that one) - they're just so used to it!
And those quiet moments where everybody is happy and not fighting....sigh....they do the heart good!
Hey I'm visiting from You Capture and I can totally relate to your post. Beautiful photos!! Those warm, quiet moments are the best!
ahaha, thank goodness for barbed wire fences isn't a phrase uttered by most parents, hilarious!! That light is so gorgeous too, my favorite kind :)
I really love that late day sun this time of year. Unfortunately, by the time I leave work, it's nearly gone. :(
Oh dear! These are great and that LIGHT. I can't get enough of the light these days either :D Stunning, really! And love the last one of your little escapee!!
Beautiful shots!! I agree, the light is fantastic!
Thanks for blessing us by sharing these beautiful pictures!
What gorgeous light! I love the picture of Little Bean and the fence.
I love love LOVE how your voice was so calm and peaceful and then you said, "As I lay there in the perfect light and my piece of crap Rebel...."
Yeah, that had me laughing!
I LOVE that amazing light. Up here... far in the north... it goes by so quickly now. And it's cold. I'm planning on getting some good photos tomorrow. Hopefully there will be moments as gorgeous as these to capture. More quickly fleeting moments... the serene ones. ;)
Every single picture is amazing. And your "ex" did a fantastic job for you. Even though you still had to dump him. The very last shot is my favorite though. It is soft, very well lit, and completely focused on little bean. It is the perfect picture. Kudos! Now tell me the details on the picture so I can try it out. ;)
Amazing captures! And I agree even rickety barb wire fences are helpful in keeping little ones from escaping!
The last shot of the little runaway was the best. Really beautiful!
the sun shining is amazing!
Truly beautiful light and a masterfully captured moment. Especially the escape!
