Sweet Taste


My work recently found me in the historic town of Cape May, NJ for a professional photography workshop. While we were indoors stretching our minds, the sun was shining and finally warming up the earth after a long, cold spring. After class I swooped into the downtown area to see folks swarming around the local fudge and ice cream shop. Ice Cream! There's nothing like your first outdoor ice cream cone when the weather beckons us to shed layers of clothes.

She was having fun eating that ice cream cone. Her eyes sparkled as she that sweet taste of sugar and cream melted in her mouth. I asked to make a few photos of her and she obliged. Then suddenly her child came out and she stuck her tongue out at me. It was a playful motion. One that said I dare you to take my photo now. Truth is, I missed it. But this one still captured the warm evening and a love affair with a cone in Cape May.
