morning hike

Today I finally got to sleep in. It's been a few weeks since that has been possible, and I apologize to all my readers out there who are parents to small children and who may or may not be cursing me at this moment. But man, I needed it. And after rolling out of bed at 9:30 (nothing too obnoxious), I got dressed and strolled next door to my morning photo shoot. Man, I wish *all* photo shoots were just next door! So easy!Anyway, the neighbors and I drove over to Lake Harriet for a hike in the woods, and it was a blast. I kindof adore my neighborly 4-year-old who explained to me that we might not see any birds because "they have gone south for the winter. That's called... hmmm... they migrated." And then his dad asked if there were any other animals that migrate. "Yup. Humpback whales!"So he's an adorable genius. And he loves to be upside down, as you can see above.And after my shoot this morning I came home, ate lunch, and ... uh... took a 3 hour nap. Which explains why I'm staying in on this Saturday night to catch up on all the work that I slept through. But man, that was some delicious sleep right there.
