A day (or 20 minutes) in the backyard

It was so beautiful out this afternoon I had to take Samantha outside. She seemed content, at least for a little while, to lay on the blanket and enjoy the noises and the breeze. So I took the opportunity to play around with the camera.

Can you see the duck?

Doesn't her big toe look abnormally large in this picture?

My attempt at a picture of the two of us. She is almost smiling.

And this was at the end of our time in the backyard when Sam was beginning to decide she had had enough!
