Default Another sweet tooth & a candycane rose

My grandkids were with me today when I was attempting my sweet tooth assignment. In
my quest to find just the right model, my grandson body blocked doors, telling me again and again he was the one for this assignment. So, as I promised him, here is his first modeling attempt as the "Big Hunk ", flexing his muscles. We all had such a fun day doing this assignment. LOL.

I realize this could have been better, but its hard when you are laughing uncontrollably. ( The shot I actually used is in the assignment section, but don't tell Jarett )

Here are Jarett and Jesica underneath rose petals floating down, obviously Jarett was no
longer amused..

jesica & jarett

I thought this was one of the prettiest roses I've ever seen, it looked like a candy cane.

and last, a rosebud in front of the fountain.

Hope you enjoyed these half as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Isn't photography great? You take pictures and enjoy your family as well. Nice shots of your family, nice looking children, and your open rose is really good.

I won't tell Jarrett, either. Your secret is safe. I wouldn't want to come between grandma and grandson. I can see why Jarret wouldn't be amused...Big Hunk and rose petals just don't fit together in the same sentence! Beautiful rose shots!

Thank you, between Michelle and I the kids always want they're pictures taken,
and we love to oblige, lol. We found the roses in a huge rose garden they keep at
the park.

His sister had him quite disgusted at the flying rose petals, he didn't realize what
she was doing until it was too late !

He was so funny, he just kept saying Grama I'm right here, forget the fireman or body
builders, I'm better, so I had to give him equal time, lol. Thank you.

It was one of those times that you just wonder if you've ever laughed that hard. He was
just too cute. Thank you.

Poor Jarett, he got fooled into the rose petals, but he was quite serious about doing the
Big Hunk shoot. Thanks Mike.
