While grocery shopping yesterday, a woman behind me in line (who knows me as a photographer) caught me staring at an elderly woman. She guessed, "I bet you'd like to photograph her." She was spot on. Sometimes I see people who captivate me, and I itch to get a camera out. I admire adorable kids and distinguished adults whom I'd love to capture. I compose photos while doing the mundane, such as grocery shopping.

I've seen photos of this morning's subject on social media through a mutual "friend." I've often thought that I wish she lived closer and that I'd love to snap her up! Well, she came to visit and said mutual friend thought to have me out to ClarkLake Beach & Boat Club to do just that!

This little nugget was adorable, engaging and a pleasure to photograph. Though tempted by the lake and the playground, she posed for a few photos and then we released her to the beach!
