Silly Tuesday - what time is it?
Posted by Bill Jennings ((Bay Area Northern Calif), United States) on 16 June 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Need to know the time - just ask Sweetpea to climb up and check the time with any nearby sundial: we're at Filoli.
Just made it home after a month of travel - posted a few photos from my journey to within 48 miles of the antartica circle: at nearly the longest day of the year: hence, there was 21 hours a day of sunlight...
Thank you for your patience while I was out of touch.
I do hope you followed Bob Kelly's blog (my roommate) while he is still traveling - he is now on Easter Island - and will be updating his blog for some time to come - please check it out!

Great image for today! I absolutely love Filoli! It is great fun to go on an artist access evening, then you almost have the place to yourself!

@Tracy: Didn't know about artist night - must absolutely do that - do you plan to go to one soon?
Dulcie from Danville, United States
Well, is she precocious or what! What a darling. Fun shot!

@Dulcie: She is a climber, no doubt. I don't think her back ever touched a changing table, as she was doing ab crunches from two weeks old - to keep from touching the table when we changed her...
@Veronique: Yes, she absolutely adores pink. ...
@jamesy: Thanks jamesy..
@Sarito: Thanks Sarito - kids are great for tuesdays!!!
@Veronelle: Merci Veronelle.
MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
What a sweet pea. And perfectly co-ordinated colour-wise with the flowers. Lovely shot!

@MrsAmber: Yes, she's my pink sweetpea - didn't plan on the colors for the onesy, but it does add to the shot !!!
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Adorable shot of your Sweetpea ... and the colors just POP in this image. Too cute to be silly, but it'll work. :D

@Judy: Weighing cuteness over silliness is always a tough one ! especially when it's my daughter, but I'm always biased: love my kids, and I think they are adorable. Sometimes I may put too much of them on this blog, and want to balance out the portfolio: but I couldn't resist this shot.
Scott Schilling from San Martin, United States
Great shot and good work with the shirt in pink and the pink flowers! Very Cute!

@Scott Schilling: Thank you Scott. The pink shirt and flowers do indeed link together quite nicely - that's a great co-incidence when I took the shot.
MARIANA from waterloo, Canada

Sugata from Newark, United States
Cute shot, and lovely title! To repeat what others have already said before, it seems as you put her in a pink T-Shirt on purpose to take this shot! Happy Silly Tuesday to you too! :)

@Sugata: Thank you Sugata - I didn't plan the pink outfit for sweetpea: but it does tie the flowers together with her very nicely in this candid. The photo is very bright for me - access to the gardens is generally only during the midday sun. Thanks for the Silly Tuesday well wishes.
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Hehehehe a wonderful sweet shot hehehehe. So young to be telling the time too lol. Excellent!

@Linerberry: Oh, but she does indeed know how to tell time, count money, and pull on dad's heart... She's a quick study: and will continue to be a handful for the rest of her life. Glad you like this ST post.

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
You never seem to stop impressing me with the pictures of your kids.....The colors are gorgeous in this one. Sweetpea looks like a little cupid :)

@Lambspun: she's a fantastic daughter - one I love totally. This week we heard she may have lost her hearing in her right ear - so we are really worried for her... please pray for her, if you can. thanks,
@Karthik: thanks Karthik
