Boy(s) of summer by joansmor

Boy(s) of summer

We had a cookout at my nieces tonight. Lots of fun. I seem to focus on one child each time and tonight it was Jace. He is, as I understand it, a handful but as a great aunt just sitting back and watching; he is adorable. I was already feeling the chill of the night air but he was alternating between sucking this ice cube and rubbing it over his body.
That's a boy for you! Very cute!

Great portrait Joan! Did you use a fast shutter speed or was he still for a few seconds? ;-)

Nicely captured!

It takes a great aunt to appreciate the kids who might be a handful to the parents.

@danette he is not a handful he is just a boy! He is also a charmer!

Great shot, love the expression that you captured.

You have some beautiful photos especially the ones of birds, flowers, light houses, and other landscape type shots.
I have decided (as I typically do) to give you a couple challenge options.

1) Element(s)
2) Elegant
3) water play (not finding a person or animal playing in water) but rather if you haven't already a creative water shot such as oil & water, water drops, fruit splash, etc.
4) smoke shot -not just smoke you find) but a creative shot of smoke

And there you have your options. Will you accept the challenge? If for some reason these stress you out too much let me know and I will come up with a couple more options. Can't wait to see what you have in store for me.

Wonderful capture, Joan.

It's so wonderful you can have the joy of just appreciating this dear boy with none of the attendant duties! Children need someone the likes of you who can be the star of the show in your presence!

hA---:) what a cool looking kiddo:

Cool shot. Children never gets cold. Mom feels the cold and the child have to wear the jersey.

He looks so much like my nephews! Freaky! I honestly had to check twice... Don't have a pic to show you though, sorry... The older boy is 15 already, so he is looking a bit different by now.

Great portrait

You've captured his character well -- he looks a bit mischievous, as if daring you to ask him to stop whatever it is he is doing.

He looks like he has some boy war wounds on him! Nice shot.

What a cute shot. Love his face. Looks like he's enjoying every suck on that ice cube...LOL.

Oh such a typical summer sight. Great fun shot.
