Any morning that starts with this view is bound to be a good one!
…and we ended with this. I taught Charlie the proper way to eat pizza – point first! He was a quick study 😉
In between, we visited the Botanical Garden for Story Time and a quick walk to the big lawn for some exploring and camera practice. Quite unlike our last visit, the sun was shining and the sky was clear and blue.
I used the 24-105mm f/4L lens (with a hood, but no filters). It’s a little big – and heavy – for being out and about, but when it’s just me and Charlie (no stroller, no diaper bag), it’s manageable. I love how versatile it is!
The garden is really a fun place to practice. But of course, the best part is sharing it with Charlie!
Happy Friday!

Looks like you and Charlie had another great day together! I love that pizza eating face!
Happy Friday! And nice to see you Charlie!
He looks so grown up with the shades 🙂 I hope you have a fab weekend filled with goodness!!
Great photos of an adorably cute Charlie! I admire Charlie's restraint around the fountain; my kids were the ones who always wanted to climb in and splash around to gather coins that had been thrown in.
What a pizza face! Love it. Great pictures Mary – the Botanical Gardens are so beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend!
Charlie looks like a perfectly pleasant little boy — happy, well-mannered, neat! (And adorable, to boot.) I love that he wears his sunglasses! (I bet he doesn't complain when you slather on the sunscreen, either.) He is growing up so fast, Mary! What a fun time you have together. XO
How wonderful!! Reminding me that I need a date with Junah!
Charlie must really love your excursions, not least, because they end (or begin) with pizza!
And making wishes!
Great excursion and what a delight to see Charlie! He's a cool l'il dude… Thx for the pizza-eating tip; one would think that I knew that considering how much I love pizza! But in a way, I guess I do intuitively – easier to hold from the wide end, as I think about it…duh!Cheers~
