 E. Coli update: The park people finally put up a "No Swimming" sign in addition to the warning about high bacteria levels. So for about 100 yards they have the beach roped off. On either side there were plenty of people swimming. Evidently they figured that the E. Coli would stay in the roped off section and not affect them or their children. Most likely nothing would happen, but it's like wearing a seatbelt - why take a chance? Perhaps it's just me, but I'd rather hear a bit of whining from the kids than let them swim on E. Coli days.

The circus is in town and I took a few pictures to get one for here, but chose this one instead. After running on a warm, humid day on the beach, I decided to come home and work in the garden. Miss Taterbug was working on her writing on the patio while the wife and I pulled weeds in the garden. Then the insect came. The insect that ended the writing exercise.

She didn't want to stay outside on patio and write , or go inside. I told her to find another solution. I went out of the garden and when I came back, there she was sitting in between the tomato plants, working on her writing. A quick wash of the hands and a few clicks later, this is what you see.

I love how you have kind of framed her with the white horizontal line and the upright green poll on the right. lol love the candid pose.

That is incredibly wonderful that she loves to write. I am amused by the fact that she has a dictionary there with her. No doubt that she probably knows a lot more words than i do lol.

Outstanding shot. Absolutely brilliant expression that makes the entire shot, that seems to say "are you taking photo's *again*?"

Fantastic expression on your daughter which completely encaptures the 'what now dad' face that only kids can express

Very nice blues and green in the shot

love the textures on those bricks & love that insects expression !! .. does that book say 'web dictionary'? ... after looking for a minute i realise its websters dictionary !!!!!! .. i didnt think there was actually a web dictionary .. !!! ... great story about miss taterbug .. is she ever offended when you call her an insect?? !!! i wanted to be a entomologist when i was her age so i wouldnt have minded ....
i love this bit "I told her to find another solution. " .. in the relationship between my daughter & myself it would work a whole lot better if our personalities were reversed ... i'm pretty laid back and actually hate telling ppl wot to do, which of course is not a good thing as a parent (i do try and overcome this personality defect tho!!)... my daughter ali, on the other hand has no trouble asking ppl to do stuff for her ... i try telling her to "find another solution" quite often, or say "do it yourself", but most things of that nature need repeating ... she's 18 years old and is overseas right now after being away for 6 weeks .. she'll be back in a bit over a week at which time i'm planning on putting into effect some major changes in our relationship .. wish me luck !!! ...
the E.Coli ppl probably dont like being told wot to do either .. you know when ppl do the exact opposite because they dont like being told!!! ... cutting off their noses to spite their faces .. dont know the results of E.Coli but i reckon it could be a whole heap worse than that!!! ...
looking forward to seeing lucisart .. at first i thought you might'v used it on the bricks but realised it was probably just the pattern .. they're an excellent brick behind the insect!! .. i'm focusing on the bricks right now coz on the weekend we went looking for some to match the existing ones on the house coz we're doing an extension .. we werent successful matching them tho ..
obviously this it too long for a 'post reply' and a pm would'v been the way to go .. sorry, but its staying .. :)

Little Miss Taterbug does not look too happy at the moment. Very nice composition among the tomato plants.
