Today was our first mild day in awhile so I took the little ones to the Botanic Gardens. We had a great day. This shot is towards the end of our day, and of course, my batteries died right after it, but I love the feel of this shot. It's almost like the kids are locking us up to keep everyone away. Along a path after you enter these gates is a hollow pecan tree that is over 200 years old. We found it one time when Tiffany was much younger. I have a picture of her in it with her cousins, Mandy and Chris. I was thrilled to find it still standing, and hoped to get shots of these little ones in it but they decided it was a monster tree and wouldn't get close to it. So I didn't feel quite so bad about leaving extra batteries in the car. We will go back and I hope to entice them into the tree with some stories of fairies or elves or a little squirrel family. It will take some convincing though, I'm afraid, because they made up so many scarey stories about tree on our walk out, they may not even want to see that tree again.
The video clip was an accident, I thought I was in "portrait" mode and couldn't figure out why the picture didn't take. It also explains why my batteries didn't last as long as I expected them to.
