One of the great things about the changing seasons the anticipation of what's to come with the change. Yesterday, the boys in my neighborhood were anticipating snow! Now I know that makes some of you cringe, but it's time to go back in the years and think like a 9 year old. Remember the fun? Lack of responsibility? Ah, the good life. . .
Every time I see the kids in the neighborhood gather at Charlie's house for some play time, I get to enjoy the view from my 2nd floor office that faces the street. I have often grabbed my camera and made some 'frozen in time' shots for their parents. It was no different when I spied the guys with their snowboard, attempting to slide down the small hill of dewy grass. No snow, no problem for 9 year olds! If you need to think outside the box just ask a 9 or 10 year old. They had the snow thing all figured out even if the weatherman didn't cooperate.
So I walked over with the camera and the boys herded up for me; board and hats intact. Silly faces were thrown my way and when I showed them one of those shots, I got this one. Now I'm the one that can't wait for the snow so I can really get them 'boarding.' I can see the snowball fight already!
