8/52 : a portrait project . . .

{a portrait of my people once a week, every week, in 2013 ~

i'm joining with jodi and taking part in the 52 project}

aila : she swam the width of the pool this week. without any help. all by herself. 

elliot : he wanted to sleep at nanny's house last night. without aila. all by himself.

this afternoon sam saw a tiger snake. in the very spot where i'd taken these pictures. at the back of our house.

so close to the end of summer and with the cooler weather here, i'd become fairly complacent. 

now vigilance, bordering on paranoia, has returned.
