Speed Racer & His Sister

I'm calling it now. Mr. Taft here is going to be the next big name in the racing world! He lives on our street and anything with wheels and he's on it and he's going f a s t! I mean FAST. And he's been like that for as long as I can remember. Luckily, he was really good for the pictures and didn't use his speed to get away from me:)

We had quite the adventure for this photo shoot. We started out at an abandoned house with a barn that I had spotted the day before. We also wanted to take some pictures at my usual field so I mentioned that I didn't feel that comfortable there with only she and I and kids. It's kind of secluded and some strange people have come by before. So, we conned another neighbor into coming to be our bodyguard. We were only there for a few minutes before an old van (yeah, it's always a van, right?) drove by slowly, checking us out. A few minutes later I look up and he had turned around and parked just a little ways down the street and was watching us. We decide to jet. Probably nothing, but we were a little uncomfortable. So then we headed to a local park to finish up. Then I realize that I left my camera bag at the first location...the abandoned house. It's getting dark, we're hoping no one found the camera bag, and we drive up. There's a suv now parked there and we can see a man walking around the abandoned house and we would have to pass him to get to the barn. We park across the street and wait for him to leave. Finally he did and we go over there, my bodyguard makes a mad dash for the barn to get the camera bag, and we make it home. We're a bunch of chickens... I know!

But chickens need their camera bags, too! Hope you enjoy Catherine!
