Isn't there something nostalgic about children swinging in tree swings? I love to swing and it always brings back such happy memories of my childhood.
We went away this weekend and this big tree had a wonderful swing attached to one of the branches. The children were taking turns being pushed by their uncle, Grant. They had such a ball.
This is totally unprocessed....you see it as I did.

I really like the angle you have taken with this Mandy. Plus unprocessed is great - it's the way I like my pictures to be too :-). ((Ahh, and how I do miss wearing shorts at this time of year))

@Craig: Hey craig. Thanks so much!!!! Hey when are we going to see some more of your fabulous pics??? Come on bring out the camera and snap a few shot sof the cold weather to make us envious of your impending "white Christmas"! :)
Your perspective on this is awesome. The warm lighting gives it a nice feel. Taking the shot from the opposite side of the tree really works well.
