Taking Kids Pictures

I have a friend who has made a minor fortune taking school pictures of kids in Japan.  I kid you not.  After trying to get Annie to hold still for a picture with the gorgeous Balsamroot exploding in eastern Washington, I have new found respect for him.  Smile just doesn't cut it!

Of course, with Annie there are dozens of distractions: Sage, butterflies, flies, Robins, Crows, that darn scary Red-tailed hawk, the tennis ball, dinner, the neighbor dog...

Murphy's day.
