Last weekend we had an all-day downpour, resulting in my parents' yard looking like this:
I thought getting my shoes wet would be worth it for the sake of the pictures. I've since rethought that.
I would just like to say that to get this reflection picture I had to wade barefoot in ankle-deep water that was approximately 35 degrees. Maybe 36. Before that, in an attempt to remain water-free, I did a balance-beam thing across the garden rocks, only to have one of them dislodge and nearly make me drop my camera into the murky, 4-inch depths. Never again.

Oh, but wasn't it all worth it? Lovely.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I can just see your feet flying out from under you and as you plunge toward the depths (Can we call them that? Yes, I think we can.) holding your d-40 aloft and shrieking, "Ack! Save the camera! Save the camera!"
At least that's how I've filmed that little scene in my head.
These pictures are great Kris.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree you can refer to water as "depths". When you're dealing with a $500+ piece of equipment, any amount of water needs to get treated like it's Lake Superior.
That reflection photo is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And Ali, yes -- that's pretty much how that scene went in my head, too.
ReplyDeleteLast photo would be freakin' amazing in bw.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your header. Wes' chubby little hand is so darling.
