not my kids, but still adorable

seriously and honestly

I'm not a stalker

~~

I might be a trespasser

but

I'm not a stalker

~~~

So I was at the park

minding my own business

when these teenage baggy pants boys showed up

to skateboard

and

since

I have a baggy pants teenage boy at home

they didn't scare me at all

and

besides

they were right where I was shooting

so I did the "I'm totally cool" dorky motherly thing and went right up to them

and

said

"hey guys, I've got a "spankin" new lens that I'm playing with....can I take your picture"

and

they said

"yup sure, totally rad"

~~~~~

and

I have to say

I LOVE this skating kid showing off just for me

and

then there was this little girl

who was laying on top of the children's

rock climbing wall

soaking up the sun

while talking to her dad

and

not having a care in the world

~~~~~

granted

with my zoom lens

these two had no idea that I took their picture

so

to protect the innocent

I've kept their faces hidden

~~~~~

remember

I don't know much about cameras or even lenses

but

I'm learning

~~

my last zoom lens was a 80-200

and

this new lens is a 70-300

and

I think I like it

~~

anything else {I think} would be too heavy for me to use without a tripod

but

PLEASE....if you have any suggestions about the zoom lenses

let me know

as my camera store has 10 day return policy

thanks soooo much
