Amateur Shutterbird

Sunday was absolutely beautiful here in the Not Yet Great White North.  So, in the morning, we took the bambini over to the Lake Harriet playground.  Julie brought the camera along and took a bunch of pictures of them running about on the benches in front of the band shell they have there, and by the boats in the water nearby.  Clara wanted to bring the camera Aunt Kate, Uncle Scott, and Cousin Nick gave to Joe some years ago.  After Julie was done taking pictures, Birdie took some pictures, too.  Julie took this picture of Birdie taking pictures.  (Julie's pictures might have been better than Birdie's, and not just because Julie had a great subject--just look at our little shutterbird.)  At dinner, Julie said an offhand thank you to the family for letting her take pictures of them.  All.  The.  Time.  Birdie piped right up and said, "You forgot to thank me for taking you picture, too!"  Thank you, Birdie.  You make a beautiful picture.
