We had a wonderful morning with Milan at the pond. The sweetpeas are in full bloom, and the rains have made it lush and green. I’ve been challenging myself to back up and take in more of the scene sometimes.

My nephew Milan came for a visit and we had a lovely day at the lake park and playground. He kept me moving, both to keep up with him and to find the light in his glorious dark, soulful eyes. What a great day!

It’s not all smiles and sweetness here. We get a fair amount of drama too.

A party at Seneca Lake State Park gave us occasion to take a few shots under the cover of the willows and play a bit with the mid-day sun.
