The water in town's been so low that you can see the bottom. It's so strange. This particular river has a tendency to flood whenever it rains heavily. The high school down the street got flooded about 6 years ago and the high schoolers had to use the middle school for the rest of the year; it gets that bad. I love how this picture came out. It looks very National Geographic.
A, the 4-year-old boy I nanny, was very pleased with the number of ducks we saw swimming around that day. I suspect he would have been excited had he not been in a melancholy mood. I don't blame him-- the poor kid's mother was abroad for a few days on a business trip, school's starting soon, and none of the neighborhood kids were around to play with. He was feeling a touch emotional and preferred to keep to himself. At any rate, there were a lot of ducks, and he enjoyed watching them swim under the bridge and come out the other side.
A did perk up enough to do a "photoshoot" involving him making funny faces, putting his leg on top of the bench and posing, and purposely "drinking" his bottled water wrong (with the cap on). He's not my child, so I can't post those here publicly to show you, but it was cute. If you have or know young kids, you probably get the jist of it anyways. :)
He found this one particularly funny because two of the ducks had their heads underwater.
A few days later, out at an All-You-Can-Eat Barbecue restaurant with Jay and Jen, I tested out my macro settings (once Jay told me what they mean, heh). Look at the detail! I've been wondering why I couldn't get the sort of clarity other people could with close-ups. I love textures.
A photo out the window at the restaurant. When I first took the picture, I didn't even realize that all those lights were reflections. It looks a touch like I'm dining in Vegas, heh. That's Jay and Jen in the window :)
And, yours truly. Not the best picture, but I think it's a bit cute. Jay took the picture while I was on the phone with M.
