The farewell to Havre de Grace photo tour

My friend Laura has a fledgling photography business, focusing on kids. She needed to expand her portfolio and was offering free photo shoots. FREE! My favorite word. PHOTO! My second favorite word. So we took her up on the offer. Dex and I spend a nice hour down on the Promenade today with Laura and her son Kevin, splashing water, running around, and chasing ducks. Here's the best of the bunch, according to Laura (I haven't seen them all, only these). NOTE: These photos belong to Laura. If you want a copy, please let me know so I can buy a print from Laura. No downloading and printing these pictures, please. Also, Laura's giving me a couple free prints, so if you're really nice to me maybe you'll get one of those! :-)

He's SO SERIOUS! Laura kept saying. That's my boy. Mr. Pensive.


Dex jumped right in to the water, and I had to grab him to keep him from going in further. I thought the waves might scare him. Nope. Not a bit.


Had to get the HDG light house in a shot!


A little consoling after a brief Dexter meltdown


Hella cute. If you look real close you can just see my head off to the side of the picture.


Something was funny. Perhaps me running. That's always a funny sight.


And a couple Mom and Dex shots, for Laura's family section of her portfolio.


Classic Dex with the fingers in the mouth


This one seems to be everyone's favorite. I can't decide.


We're not as fancy as Laura with her camera and tripod, but here's a few more shots from the Promenade on Saturday. When I made us go for a walk. In the rain. Because the radar said it wasn't raining. When it CLEARLY was raining when you looked outside the window.


To be filed in the "Things we'll use to blackmail Dexter later" drawer.


See? Sunny! Not raining! We only got wet for ten minutes or so...


Saw these cool ships go by. No idea what they were up here for.
