and spin me, too.....


sometimes
when life is taking us for a ride
all we can do is hold on
and
enjoy the wind in our hair
and
shout
"is that all you've got. spin me, too"
*
last weekend 
we went to the apple orchard so i could play with my new lens. 
lucky for me, a girl that my hubby works with was there with her two daughters 
and they were pretty much game for anything i asked of them.
there are more, really fun photos, over here

  1. Great shot Beth -- I can feel the wind in my hair just looking at this..and wish I had a tire to spin on...then again, your thoughts sum up my life exactly as it is right now -- so I'm adopting this attitude...you spin me right round baby right round.... :)

  3. Hey Beth, I'm sure you had great fun.
    Those girls are so cute! love the color but also that B&W shot.
    I went on down and checked out the next family there, how awesome are those boys! especially the two of them in the wagon cracking up.
    You are such a great photographer.
