A struggle

whether to wear sandels or shoes for 'Park' field trip. After awhile, I gave up and let son wear the sandels (even thought the note said NO sandels).

Canon EOS 350D
1/60s f/4.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks angioman and CJ,
No this was a real emotion shot, no pose except I told Josh to look up.

I like how the background flowers accent the wonderful skin tones - beautiful shot sue anne! It really has a spontaneous (not posed) look about it. - angioman

Good looking boy Sue Anne, and he looks like he's not too happy with you right now! Well done. :-) CJ

Thank you...
Yes Josh does get what he wants, within reason, but it was either the sandels or stay at home and miss the field trip. Believe me, he ready to stay home and I didn't want him to miss the trip. I packed his shoes in his backpack, just in case. Came home in his sandels so he was okay afterall. Drat the note for starting the struggle in the first place. ;0
Yes he is a handsome (beautiful) boy but now the next struggle will be to cut the hair. LOL (not)

LOL! I guess you've been well-trained, Sue Anne! :) He's beautiful (if you don't mind me saying that about a male). ~Lydia

Sueanne the softy. I didn't see that coming. What was the bribe? Let me take your picture and I'll let you wear the sandal's? You caught the moment well. -COAmature

Nicely done Sue Anne. Don't you wish he at least wish he got a little sand under his feet so he'd wish he did as you wanted ;-) Glad Josh had a chance to learn about nature- important stuff that is.

Thanks Jano, not sure about the chains, but sandels must be like chains. :)

Thank you aam1234 - Josh' field trip went well learning at the nature center. He told me he was allowed after all to wear his sandels, if he could walk good in them. So the struggle was all for nothing.

Thank you Penny and Rod, if I had shot about 5 min earlier, I could of gotten some good tears. But this was the aftermath....

Hi Josh, how was the field trip.

How forlorn a young lad who is denied his sandals!!! The bright side is that he didn't ask to put on his chains.. (colyn seems to think bearing chains is "cool"). Well done Sue Anne. You should be able to fill this challenge 10 times over by the time its done lol jano
