I realize Thursday is almost over….but we had soooo much fun today at the Wildlife Park that we had to come home and take a nap.

One of the things I love the most is what Miss Sam and I did today. We went to the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park on a photo shoot. We FINALLY renewed our season pass!!

I am always amazed at the differences between our photos. Miss Sam has a natural talent for photography. She is able to capture the essence and the character of her subjects. Whereas me, I just capture their natural beauty and nothing more.

She will stand in a spot for hours okay…maybe a half hour…waiting to capture her subject in the “pose” she has already imagined in her head. I wish I had that talent, but I love that she has it and has the opportunity on our photo shoots to take it to the next level every time.

Here are three of my favorite shots that Miss Sam took today:

She truly has that photographer’s eye.

Thanks to The Diaper Diaries for hosting the Things I Love Thursday meme.

Samantha’s Corner:

Here is last night’s conversation as I headed off to bed:

Mom: Will you harvest my rice (on my virtual farm) before you go to bed so it won’t go to waste?

Miss Sam: As long as you blow up an empire (on her virtual galaxy) for me tomorrow.

Welcome to the 21st century.
