I’m Gonna Get You Sucka
Oh, I love pictures that are right at “that moment”. There’s no turning back for our friend the pinata – he’s about to spew his guts all over the lawn. This shot was from the Balance Cycling summer picnic – in which our hosts provided two pinatas. One was for the kiddies, one for the adults. Appropriately, the adult one contained power bars and power gels – just the candy a tired cyclist needs.

Learning to Fly
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my sense is real,
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
This shot was taken today at my daughter’s 1st birthday party. Our friends oldest child Luke was taking great pleasure in leaping off the stone wall near where we were picnicking at the Arboretum. I love this shot because it captures him perfectly at ‘the decisive moment’ – he’s obviously over the tipping point and is committed to the ride down, for better or worse.
