{Woodland fun}

My parents are blessed to live near a beautiful park that has a nature trail that goes through the woods. It's a really good thing I don't live near there or I would spend hours and hours a week there! It's funny because I have a nature trail near me too, but it just doesn't have the magic of the beautiful trees in Alabama, down in the south.

My daughter also loves spending time with nature, so I took some shots of her playing around, hope you enjoy them.

It was such an enjoyable session. I took about 200 photos, don't worry I'm not gong to post them all here. :-) I will post a few more in the upcoming entries just to show them off though.

Thanks for looking!

One of the things I love most about having my camera is being able to capture fleeting moments when she isn't looking. When she's not posing. When she is just being herself.

Here she was sitting in the window looking outside for a few minutes and I caught her looking away at something in front of her, I thought it was such a pretty picture. I love that her hair is messy and not super fixed.

Every year it seems that I happen to miss the Texas bluebonnets and never get a picture of my daughter in them. This year I missed them again but I found some beautiful wildflowers, so we decided to hop out of the car and do a quick photo session when we found some by the road.

The sun was bright and beautiful but I did use some post editing in this picture. It is my favorite one of the bunch. My daughter is 4 here, it was only a few months ago but she has grown so much since then.
