Up, Up, and Away!

Last week Luke decided to wrap himself up in my birthday balloons, and run around the backyard.  Maybe he thought he would float up, up, and away, or maybe he was playing with them and somehow got caught in the net of the interwoven streamers.  Who knows?  But when I saw him running around in the back with a bunch of colorful balloons, I knew I had to grab my camera quick!  He didn't want me to take his picture, so he kept running away from me, but I loved the look of all the balloons floating right behind him as he ran.  Later it was fun to play with the color on the computer - only with iPhoto.  I haven't had enough experience with my Photoshop yet.


 I really love this one.  I think I need to crop it, but am not quite sure the best crop to make.




He was trying to pop the balloon here.





I think this one is funny because the balloons say "Happy Birthday" and the look on his face is anything but happy.



He hid from me and my camera under the trampoline, but I got the shot anyway.

As it turned out, Luke never got air born, but he sure wore himself and the photographer out trying.

From the rear Luke reminds me of a peacock strutting his tail feathers. Gotta love it!

I love the fourth from the bottom. It is so dreamy and surreal. It is the essence of childhood.

That's so funny that he kept running away from you. My kids love the camera! And are always asking me to take their pictures.
