Plenty of ridiculously silly content and maybe some good stuff, too.

Here are a few pics I took of him for a Mother’s Day gift for my sister-in-law. Not bad considering that I had to balance taking the photos with ensuring that the kid didn’t topple over face-first!

And my personal favorite…

It’s the only form of exercise I can kind of, maybe, if I’m lucky, get him to do. Night is falling earlier and earlier here in our corner of Southwestern Ohio, with dusk now hovering just after 7 p.m. With twilight already upon us, we forewent our usual nature park for a jaunt across the Purple People Bridge to Sawyer Point and back. When I bought the Canon DSLR, I knew that Brandon assumed it would go the way of the digital video camera I just had to have last year and have yet to take a single video with. But I think even he has been surprised by the use I’ve gotten out of the new camera in the few short weeks I’ve had it. I took it along on our walk last night and captured a few night shots of our city’s beautiful skyline.

Alms Park is one of Cincinnati’s forgotten gems of a park — it’s small and while quaint and charming in its own right, lacks the grandiosity of its neighbor, Ault Park. To get to Alms Park, you must first travel through an area of Columbia-Tusculum known as the Rainbow District for the brightly-colored Grand Ladies dotting the hillsides. I snapped a few extra shots while I was in the area.

Oh, to have a white picket fence…
