Scavenger Hunt Sunday - August 21

Geometry

Loved this little squirrel the other day - cleaning up after the kids at the Challenger Soccer Camp in Amherst.  See the geometric shapes behind him... natures own background (or should I saw "non-Nature"  ;))

Brushstrokes

Strokes of color -- celebrating Samantha's birthday on the Connecticut River yesterday.  Love Cook's champagne and our fun glasses on the boat.  :)

Hanging by a Thread

Learning how to slalom waterski.  This photo is Samantha, my step daughter "hanging by a thread" trying to pull herself up out of the water on one ski.  It is not as easy at it looks --- and you can see the water in her face, streaming up her nose as she struggles to get this "high" out of the water.  She tried 4 times and to get this "high" is considered a true success of determination.   Next time she will be up and skiing -- guaranteed.

Collage

Learning how to dive with Uncle Jim & Cousin Jason at the Cook Family Summer party.  Schuyler loves the water and it was wonderful to watch his uncle teaching him how to dive.  Jason Cook, his cousin is an amazing diver from Amherst and dives with the UMASS College team.  You can see his twist in the air - just goofing around that afternoon.  Very cool!  

On the dotted Line

I absolutely love the ducks on the river.  When we got there in July we found that one of the mother's had baby ducklings.  So amazing and beautiful to watch her take care of them all --- in a row -- following her --- on the dotted line.  :)
