Rain and Funny Faces

In my neck of the woods we are waterlogged, soaked, growing gills and just plain tired of the rain, sleet and snow... but mostly rain! Since December, we have had over 16 inches of rain. Here is a recap of our weather since about November. It's been raining, cold, raining, even colder, raining, snowing, really cold, kinda cold and raining. We've had days where the sun was shining but it was on one of those cold days. UGH! I'm a warm weather gal. I need a warm day with sunshine soon. Since the weather forecast says it is supposed to rain tomorrow and I'm kinda grumpy about it, I will cheer myself up by posting some of my favorite pictures from Special Olympics.

One of my favorite things about taking photographs of people is when they are acting silly. My friend Kathy would always have the children she photographed make a silly face at the end of a session. They always looked forward to it and sometimes those were the best pictures. I run a camp in the summer and we had a counselor who always cracked us up when she was in a picture. She was always doing something crazy like pretending to pick her nose, making strange facial expressions, sticking out her tongue, etc. Pretty soon we would just say, "Lindsay, make a funny face." A tradition was born and the kids and adults would line up to pose for a funny face picture. We take funny face pictures all of the time now. Sooooo, I have many pictures and I love the personalities that shine through each photograph. Last weekend I was helping coach our bowling team at our state's Special Olympics competition and I took these pictures of one of my favorite athletes. He makes the best faces. He also won a medal and was very proud.

Make a funny face

Woo Hoo, way to go!

Coaches can make funny faces too.

The muddy water looked like it was boiling as it rolled in on these tiny waves.

Enjoy the weekend. Have fun. Spend time with your friends and/or family. Set your clocks forward because it will be daylight savings time this weekend!!! Can I get a hip hip hooray because that means Spring is on the way!!!!
