Off we go. Full of energy!!
Heading out in our 'hood. First we go up (see little hill at end of street?) 
Then we go down. (see trail below?) 
Then we walk around a while (notice trail we're on). 
Then we go up. 
And up.
And up. (see the trail now?) 
See the university in the distance (the one seen in my <a href="http://shortonwords.blogspot.com/2009/02/view-from-my-room.html">room with a view</a> post)? 
Then we go down. 
And then back up.
And finally down. 
See how excited Littlest Dude is to be back home? 
ack. Livewriter continues to throw me for loops. I cannot make the words and the photos play nicely together.
Speaking of photos ... most of these were processed with Lightroom using TRA's new presets - specifically Crystal Ship Medium for the vintage-y color shots. Every picture (except the helicopter, which I cropped in close so you could see the 'copter) is 50mm, "normal" view. No zoom, no wide angle. So the near-far trail is just as you see it.

Shorts and short-sleeve shirts?? Bare legs?? Is it true?? It's THAT warm in SoCal right now?? Oh, what I would give to share a little bit of your warmth this morning :)
Have a blessed day, Susan... your photos are lovely (and encouraging... one day, spring will come here, too!)
Love those--right there in your big backyard! Littlest Dude has the same boundless energy on the return home that he did on the way out--or so it appears.This post made me thing of you this morning. AWESOME perspective on the kid to teen transition.
That would be think.
I love the very last photo..your neighborhood is beautiful! All the pictures are the viasual of a "Very blessed Family" Love the joe seen... :)
Beautiful photos! I am so inspired by your work. And totally jealous of your WARM weather as I sit freezing in my snowy neck of the woods. :)
Seriously, Susan? That's down your street? Seriously, Susan you guys are wearing shorts and t-shirts? Seriously? I guess so! What a beautiful little picture story about another Keller family vacation...err...I mean walk! Looks like y'all were on vacation, such a nice hike! Thanks for sharing!
I want to come and go on a hike with you and the boys. They look so fun.
Hi Susan Ihave been following your blog and you are an amazing photographer. I am starting to do some photography on the side as well. i admire the way you position your camera. The composition, the style is great. How do you do that? I need some info, thanks

Thank you, All, ... and I'm sorry. I know most of you are buried in snow. Lots of snow. You can laugh at us in May, June and July when all our days are overcast and you're all glorying in summer sun. :-)
Seriously, Kelly :-). Right down the street. I love it. The boys? Not so much.
Rebeckah - we'd love to have you join us ...
Thanks, Patty. Nothing too tricky. In general I like negative space. And shots from low to the ground. And I tilt the camera often. Probably too often.
