Boys in Action

Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 10 October 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Here is my nephew Ashton again....looking decidedly more cheerful than his last appearance on my site.

The bigger boys were all doing somersaults on a friends trampoline and he wanted to join in the action too. As you can see he was REALLY chuffed with himself - even though he never attempted the somersault he was thrilled to bits just to be able to join in!

@Lost Valley View: Thanks LV!!! He has his moments!!1 hahaha - generally he's quite easy to photograph! Quite ironically as he was jumping he saw my camera and it was almost like he did an extra little trick just to make sure I caught it! :)
