Sidewalk Chalk

South Berwick, ME

One of my kids favorite activities in the warmer months (and I have even seen them go a bit chalk crazy in the winter too).

Our driveway was pretty much covered in juvenile graffiti until I had to pressure wash some edging material this afternoon. The sidewalk chalk mysteriously appeared once the asphalt began to dry.

I have a shot of my 10 year old lying beside the puddle, I wanted a decent reflection, but her face was too dark in the reflection. I probably could have gotten better lighting if I had my wireless triggers with me (they were in the house) by manually aiming the flash up towards her face. As it was, I decided to forgo the flash. I couldn't simply pop in since I had mud all over my shoes from working on a small garden with the kids.
