Doin' the Pigeon in the Park

Anyone remember the Sesame Street song that Burt sung in the 70's..."Doing the Pigeon?"

Here's another of my favorites from the yoga shoot yesterday. I just adored the heavenly lighting and greens here. And it is definitely better large.

And for your listening enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJsgtoizj8v=pPj3G7U-K04

Smashing. That is one very limber young lady.

Great shot!
August 21st, 2013  
Wow, so cool----used to do that before I pig myself out w/ Dark Godivas ---haha:)
August 21st, 2013  
Another terrific shot Amanda. Next time set the timer and asume the position yourself!
August 21st, 2013  
Crikey that looks painful, great shot though.
August 21st, 2013  
@adamj Good call. Michael attempted to get a shot of she and I doing the dancers pose together at the end, but couldn't get my camera to work. It only works for me:). I have the back button set to be the way to focus it and no one can ever seem to figure it out.
August 21st, 2013  
Superb shot Amanda!
August 21st, 2013

I am off yoga for now as that is what did my hip in (something gave way coming out of Triangle) - but I can appreciate her pose - and you captured it so nicely - looks great large!!
August 22nd, 2013

August 23rd, 2013  
I agree with Jerry @orangecrush. My joints ache just from looking at this :)
August 23rd, 2013  
@darsphotos @alisonp @sbolden

Thanks so much, my friends, for your kind words and faves. Really appreciate your support and encouragement!
August 23rd, 2013  
so beautiful and somehow peaceful. Fav for me. love the place and the light.
August 23rd, 2013  
@camim I adored the light. Magical to me. Thanks so much for your kind fav! Happy weekend!
August 24th, 2013  
@skipt07 I know, huh?! Thanks, Skip!

@orangecrush Thanks so much, Jerry. I was so pleased to get the opportunity to photograph this. It was my first official shoot (as in I didn't know the person). And I got some great photos which was my prayer and goal.

@rachelwithey Thank you, Rachel. It was such a gorgeous time of day.

@pflaume Thanks, Lisa. I am so glad that I finally had the boldness to say something to someone. It helps being a woman at times, I think, as it makes us come off less creepy. And so glad to have gotten some good photos for both of us!

@shepherdman Thank you kindly, sir.

@anazad511 Thank you, Ana!!

@zambianlass Thanks so much, kind lady!

@roseolivia Thank you, Rachel!!

@alia_801 I am such a fan of green...especially all glowing like that in the sunshine. Thanks, friend!

@twr Thanks, Timothy!

@bardejov Thank you, my friend!

@taffy You are so sweet to say that. I am so glad to have gotten some great photos for her (and I:). Thank you!!!

@bpaquette So sorry to hear that you hurt yourself doing yoga. Was it a fallen triangle. Ouch. Thanks for your kind comments, my friend!

@wendyhgill Thank you, Wendy!!

@softbootsailer It's great. I love it. Hope to sometime this weekend!

August 24th, 2013  
@roadshow Thanks so much, Gloria. I was so grateful to be able to capture these for her.

@thirtysevenways She was...very much so. I was so glad not to screw it up...I was worried I would. Now I have to sort and edit the rest of the 100+ photos I took. Bored with it and not interested anymore. Ugh. Thanks, Andy.

@cdonohoue You are funny! Thanks, Cathy!

@psychographer I KNOW!! I love to do yoga. Wish I had her long and lean figure. It would be easier I think. Thanks!

@rennes Keep trying...the more you bend the easier it gets. Thanks, Lisa!

@megmills She got wet in the falls and had an extra shirt. I had suggested it in case the lighting didn't work with one outfit choice. Her last shirt was so bad for photos. Thanks, Meg!!

@jamibann Thanks so much, Issi!!

@sugarmuser Thanks, Sharon. She was so good. I can do some of it, but not as gracefully and effortlessly!

@mcmary Thank you, Mary!!

@amrita21 Thanks kindly, lady!

@denidouble Love your expression. It does. Thanks, Deni!
August 24th, 2013  
@jodimuli You are funny...take care man...and so so glad you made #1. You deserved that!!

@lindagene Thank you, Linda!!

@steampowered Thanks, Paul. So glad to capture this for her!

@cathrinemitch I did, too. Thanks so much, lady!

@gerry Thank you, Gerry! This time around it was a planned photo shoot. The last time I saw her I took candids and they came out horribly. I was so pleased with how the shoot went, though...I was worried.
August 24th, 2013  
magnificent light and colors! very beautiful!
August 24th, 2013  
I do remember doing the Pigeon along with Burt.
August 24th, 2013  
@bobfoto Was your Burt the same as ours? I know that they had different characters around the world. Yellow long head with a black tuft of hair on top? Weird looking dude, but man he could dance:).
August 24th, 2013  
@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks, Arefin!!
August 24th, 2013  
@amandal - oh yeah, we got the US broadcast of Sesame Street. Used to annoy all our teachers because we would say the alphabet with a US accent.
August 24th, 2013  
@bobfoto You mean the normal way;-). Just kidding. I'd love to have heard that.
August 24th, 2013  
@amandal - it's Zed, not Zeeeeeeeeeee. And I do a pretty mean 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, eleven, 12.
August 24th, 2013  
@bobfoto Zed? Seriously? Zeeeee is so much nicer. Love that number song:)!
August 25th, 2013  
@amandal - I'll be singing it all day now... including the do do doo bits.
August 25th, 2013  
I have a dvd of their first 40 seasons. Good stuff. @bobfoto Sorry if that drives you nuts, but...not really.
August 25th, 2013  
Oh to be able to do this!!
August 25th, 2013  
Ouch.
August 25th, 2013  
great lighting!
August 25th, 2013  
Beautiful all the way around... what could anybody change?
August 25th, 2013  
Pea
The light is stunning. Love the comp too and what a perfect location for a yoga shoot. Love this fav!
August 25th, 2013  
@amandal How did she like your photos? I think you did an awesome job, Amanda.
August 26th, 2013  
@darsphotos She loved them. Thank you, Darlene!!

@deeganp Thanks so much for your great comments and fav, Pea!!

@dauber Thank you so much for your great comments!!

@jsw0109 And pose, huh? I LOVED the light. Thank you!

@christinemgrote I know!!

@sailingmusic I'm going to try at my next yoga class. I love yoga...it really helps you get flexible.

August 26th, 2013  
@amandal So glad she loved them. You sure have come a long way with your new camera and your wonderful talent to take photos and tell stories. Ready for school to start tomorrow or did it start already?
August 26th, 2013  
@darsphotos Last week. It's nice to have my days a little less crazy once the 2 oldest are in school. We had a fun, full summer, but we were all ready for school again. Thanks so very my, my friend!!
August 26th, 2013  
@amandal I could not remember as so many started different times. I am so glad you had such a wonderful Summer and camping trip and NYC. It is nice to have them back in school and just one home now. Enjoy your week my friend.
August 26th, 2013  
Stunning shot Amanda, that light is incredible. Not to mention that pose.
August 26th, 2013  
@masosy Thanks so much, kind Kate!!

@darsphotos You, too!:)))
August 26th, 2013  
Gorgeous - just perfect lighting and the pose is beautifully formed.
August 27th, 2013  
amazing shot the backlight is perfect.. and I would not be able to move for a month.. IF I ever got out of that position!!
August 28th, 2013
