I Capture The Bean Capturing Me On Our Photo Safari

Here are videos of me taping the Bean while she taped me during our video safari and the other way around.

First me taping her-

And here is her version of the very same moment in time-

The Bean and Daddy’s Photo Safari Slide Show

Well mammaw got the Bean her first camera for Easter and yesterday we walked around Fifth Avenue and The Naples Pier (the same pier my grandfather Captain Joe used to fish off of daily during his winters in Naples).  We spent the day on a photo safari taking pictures and me teaching her some of the basics.  I have to say that at her young age of 4 and a half she really does a pretty good job of framing her shots. 

I’ve been teaching her about trying to take pictures with the light behind you and shining onto your subjects and teaching her about some of the basic functions on the camera like the macro setting and other stuff.  She really seems to love it and I had about the best time that I’ve had down here sharing one of my passions with my daughter.  It was just great.

The slide show is a mix of pictures that she took and I took while on our photo safari together.

Our One Pool Day In Naples

Lest anyone think the weather only sucks here in Ma, we’re not alone.   It was pretty crummy if you like the warm weather in Florida as well.  We only got one day in the pool as it was eitrher raining or cool there as well.

We still had a fantastic time spending a lot of it at the great parks Naples has to offer but I’m really looking forward to having my feet in the sand a bit more.

One guy on the Naples Pier said that he hadn’t remembered in 60 years of living in Naples a winter as cold as this past one and that from Christmas til  the day we went in the pool there wasn’t a single day he would have considered a beach day. 

The girls were great though and although the weather wasn’t all that I ‘d still consider the trip a success.

The Girls

Heading home today. 

Although the weather we’ve had has been the worst I’ve experienced in almost 20 years of coming to Naples it was still a successful trip.  The girls have been spectacular and we found plenty of other fun things to do.   The parks being the main attractions for the girls.

The Bean Captures This Picture For Mammaw

Yesterday I gave the camera to the Bean to take pictures much like Sharon did with grandaughter Kylie last week.

To say that I’ve created a monster would be an understatement.  She is going to need her own camera.

Click the picture below to see the slide show of pictures entirely taken by the Bean.  These were the best  33 out of about 120 she took.
