Welcome back to KinderGARDENS, a weekly post hosted by
The Inadvertent Gardener. This weeks assignment was to give the kids the camera. Telling my two about this they wondered why. I just told them that we want to see the garden through their eyes. So here are just a few of the pictures that Shannon and Aiden took....with an explanation as best I can get.
To start us off we will go with Shannon's pictures.
Silly face but taken by herself. Shannon is holding a Rhubarb leaf.
Another silly face with the Hyacinth Bean plant
A very cool picture she took of a Pumpkin flower.
Shannon picked some blackberries and took a quite clear picture of them.
So now that we have seen the talents of my 8 year old lets see what Aiden guy my 4 year old did.
Aiden although only 4 did quite well at getting clear pictures.
Lemon balm taken quickly yet clearly.
He made me do it. I didn't want to pose or get a picture taken but he asked so nicely.
Running all over the yard Aiden was very selective as to what he chose to take a picture of. He insisted on this one much like the picture of me.
Yesterday he asked Shannon and I to pose with buddy. Shannon suggested to do so in front of one of the gardens to keep with the post theme. Buddy didn't want to look at the camera but thats ok. Still a good picture.
So thats my contribution to KinderGARDENS for this week. Stop on over to
The Inadvertent Farmer and see what others posted. Kids are talented.
Love it! I feel like I'm never in pics-always behind the camera. Our kids took similar pictures of blossoms and broccoli! Your daughter's red hair is gorgeous. A true Irish lass. Love when the pets get included too. Your garden looks like its thriving way more than mine.
ReplyDeleteone of the things i love about the kids taking the pics is that we all get to see what each other look like, lol! :) glad aiden talked you into it.
ReplyDeletejealous of your blackberries - we have a vine/bush/plant/whatever-you-call-it out back, but hubby cut it way back just as it was flowering! grrr. ah well, maybe that means more berries for next year!
great pics by both kiddos - there may be a theme of gorgeous squash blossom shots in this week's posts :) i'm glad your kiddo insisted on a pic of you, it's nice to put faces to names on these blogs
ReplyDeleteLove the shots from arms length! Kids always amaze me!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for you going ahead and posting the pic Aiden took of his beautiful Mama! Shannon's silly face cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteI'm just drooling over how far your garden is along than ours. I still have a slim hope that my pumpkins might sprout.
I love the free spirit of the kids with the camera. These are great shots.
