"Joy"

I found an awesome photography site when I visited Sarah's blog.  She's a contributer there and the site is called We Picture This.  I think it's a newer site but I was impressed, humbled and inspired all at the same time.  I'm not sure if my photography skills can ever measure up but here's our first attempt at the current theme:  Joy.

This picture was taken at Half Moon Bay in May of this year.  At first, neither of our girls (especially Gwen) were in much of a mood for a walk along a path leading towards the beach but their attitude improved quickly as Daddy challenged them to a contest of rolling down the grass hill!   Here's Maddy full of glee and striking a victory pose!

Here are some other photos from this particular day.  I posted this collage back in May.  As you can see, it was a cloudy day but I love the color of the sky.
