Army Dudes

Haha, so I was searching for some photo ideas, and ran across these photos on flickr. I got all crazy and ran to the dollar store to buy some army dudes. Every dollar store has them, right? Wrong. Had to check a few. Then I spent a couple hours shooting, and this is one of my favs.

The Park

I haven't been out shooting for a while, so we went to the park last week, and took some pics (Kaylene - thanks for the inspiration!). You might think this pic is kind of boring, but to me it is so beautiful. We were laying on our backs lookin up at the trees just relaxing. No pressing homework, no job stress, no stress at all. Just a beautiful relaxing day with my hubby. :)

It was also super fun to watch the crowd at liberty park. If I ever get up the guts, I'm going to pull a Richard Avedon, and show up with a white backdrop, and just ask random people who look interesting to me if I can take their photos. There is a HUGE variety of people at this park. I love it!
