Without even trying...

It's funny how when you're not trying very hard something good always falls in your lap.  Today, while outside playing with my boys, I was fooling with my camera settings trying out some new techniques...

I slowly, very nonchalantly, pointed the camera in Ty's direction (If he sees me taking photos, he immediately runs the other way.).  He's going through a NO PICTURES phase.

Then, it happened.  I got these without even trying!

They are my new FAVORITE photos.  There are only a couple because as soon as he realized what was happening he ran off.  But these two are worth twenty of my usual chase Ty around with the camera shots. 

My sweet innocent boy and his happy little grin... 

Does that make this the opposite?

I know...I should've warned you!  HA! 

The truth is I LOVE this shot almost as much...  It totally captures his dramatic little self at this point in his toddler life.
