Hungry

We gave Emerson his first taste of table food this weekend A little bit of banana smashed up in some breast milk. He has been eying our food a lot lately and showing a keen interest in the whole eating phenomenon. So we figured we would give him a little taste. He was pretty receptive to the whole opening his mouth to put a spoon in routine, though a little confused about what to do with it after that.

This picture is not from that feeding, but from our lunch today at Holy Frijoles. He was wanting to hold the silverware, so under momma's watchful eye he got to play with forks and knives. There are a few more pictures from this if you click on the photo you can see all 12. They came out pretty nice, me thinks.

These Little Piggies

We went to the state fair today and took e on his first Ferris Wheel ride. We also saw lots of animals including this little litter of piglets which I caught mid transport from the stall to the cow palace. This was my favorite photo from the day. You can click on it to view the rest of flickr if you like.

Rusty Shadows

I shot this photo while walking along Druid Hill Park the other day. I love the way textures get layered over time and through the elements. These iron bars have rusted and stained the concrete while lichen has grown alongside it. Nothing is as beautiful as the old dirty decay.
