Wanda01_02_05a.jpg

Today we drove north to visit the grand kids and for me to do a little wildlife photography. We headed up the canyon to take elk pictures. The elk were kind of boring and the kids and Wanda's attention spans are pretty short. They found a little hill to slide on. Lack of sleds, tubes or tobaggons didn't stop them. They used the shell off Wanda's parka.

There is this shot and two more that I liked all for different reasons: the "photo a day" because it shows the anticipation and a little terror when starting down the hill.
This one because it shows some speed http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/38208578 and this one because both the boys were in it and it shows them having fun as they brake to a halt as the snow comes up around their feet http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/38208073

I have a series of three photos that show Wanda slamming into a bush while she goes down the hill head first on her back http://www.pbase.com/image/38229072 no harm was done to the model or the bush.

And last but by no means least, my favorite photo of the day. A baby female moose, up to her knees in a small pond, feeding on watercress http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/38206053

This was a fun day! Someday when I am too old to actually "play" with the grandkids I will look back at these pictures and remember happier, healthier times. When you are having fun and someone is snapping a picture, it's an easy one to pose for. You know you are smiling and there wont be some stupid image show up where you have a grumpy look on your face. (laffin)
