Toto enjoying his spring day.
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 energy! Although maybe you should have used a slightly slower shutter speed to depict movement of the projectile? ^^ But great shot, nonetheless!

beautiful -- his hair is getting long!

@dj.tigersprout: we eventually cut it - but we let it grow pretty long, and it looks great on him. But as the summer warmed up, we cut it shorter.
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
We have one of those too! What fun for the kids. Great timing on this one Bill!

@Magda: the kids will play with it for hours, a great outdoor family activity. I will admit to capturing multiple images, and picking this one with the action !
