Evening Shadows

Walking home across the rec after Will's cricket match this evening, the sinking sun was casting long shadows. This intense gaze he's giving me roughly translates as "Mum, will you stop with the infernal photo-taking? It's just a SHADOW for heaven's sake!"
I'm amazed that some folks still have their cameras intact! If the young people rebelled there'd be trouble!! Great picture... but don't you feel just a wee pang of sympathy with the models - especially when they've been playing a hard game of cricket? Great picture though.

Cute photo. I love his expression and his grass stained knees!

I love YOUR shadow ... the "shadow photographer" ... always behind the camera, never seen!

Yes, I can hear him saying that! And I love the nice green color on those pants! That could be the beginning of a commercial for some miracle product!

I love this picture of your son. And one day maybe 20 or 30 years from now...he'll 'Get it' too, Mom.

Ahhh...and don't we all here those echoes of PLEASE STOP WITH THE PHOTOS! Handsome sun...and fabulous long shadows!

Oh, Helen, I think I have neglected you the last few days...but not on purpose. I am still playing catch -up!

In a couple years, if your son is anything like my 2 were, it will get even harder to take a photo of him...(but maybe you will get lucky and he will jsut get used to it! )

haha, sounds like mine sometimes! :)

I love that you achieved a "together" moment - even if only in shadow!

Your observation about my husband is correct - he's 6ft 10" tall. It means that he has to stoop when walking through a normal-sized door.

Oh Will looks so nonchalant, but not really annoyed (does he ever?). If this was Beth she'd have turned away just as I took the photo on purpose with eyes rolling.....like his cricket kit, how many bottles of Vanish do you get through???Oh cool shadow shot also!

A wonderful portrait.

Thought Wills might of been looking happy as they won the match. well done. photos good too.
May 26th, 2010  
Will really favours you, doesn't he?! That's a nice face and it should be photographed... Don't let him tell you no!

Adorable! Awesome shadow shot! Why do they dress cricket players (and young boys) in white! The grass stains are really perfect!
