Backyard Concert by lauriehiggins

Backyard Concert

This shot is for Trina's tag challenge. The idea was to randomly (with closed eyes) pick two tags from the tag page and take a photo that fit them both. I got music and plants, so this is my son playing his drums in our overgrown backyard. I hope my son doesn't find out that I missed the deadline by just a couple of hours...story of my life lately.
Did he set those drums up for his mama's shot??? what a good kid! with a bad A$$ drum kit!!

@keithdavid Yes, he actually did set them up for his mama. He was actually willing to lug them down to the dunes at a nearby beach (my original idea), but it's pretty crowded here on the Cape right now and I was afraid we might get arrested. And what kind of example would that set??? But it sure was tempting...maybe in November...hmmm...

That's cool Laurie! Great job! There are only 4 others, so I would allow anyone who gets something in today:-)

@5unflow3r @sunnygreenwood Thank you, Trina, for letting me in past deadline! Anne, Trina is as kind and patient as my newspaper editors. This time of year I'm always slightly behind on everything...usually just hours, but still anxiety provoking...

@robinwarner Tommy is my youngest of four, and my only son. I still can't believe my baby will be 16 on Thursday of this week!

Very cool

He's got his grunge look down for sure. Now to work on the drumming. Nice way to get both of your tags in with one shot.

16...wow...he looks older my baby turns 17 on the 23rd....crazy

What a sweetheart to lug the drums out and set them up in the back yard! Deadlines were meant to be extended! :-)

Haha--I love the candid, he looks like he's having a great time. Does he have his own band?
August 10th, 2011  
This is a great shot!

Looks like someone is having fun outdoors. Great shot, Laurie.

Aw man! A couple of hours?! Not fair! Great shot...that must've taken a bit of time to set that shot up. I hope he made use of those drums while outside.
