First days and second tries

The previous post was pictures taken after sunset. This time, I took pictures in the late afternoon on the shaded side of a building. These turned out better, and a lot closer to the style I am working toward.

 Today was R's first day of school! She had been asking me daily for several weeks if it was time to go to school yet, and her excitement washes away any hesitation I have about whether she will do well. The day went famously, she had a wonderful time, and is excited to go back again tomorrow.
