Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you...

...Lily the Great!
(Can I just say how much I like this girl and she's not even my own.)

Her lovely mother asked me to take some pictures because she had a vision of "pictures in a field". 

"No more of the tired Sears portraits," she said. Ok. I can't do boring, tired Sears portraits anyway.

So we headed out to a nearby field (there are a lot of them in this town) and then made our way up to a local winery (there are also a lot of those).

So yeah, I didn't know until after our time that Miss Lily is totally allergic to outside stuff (pollen, springy type things) and I was totally dragging her through the fields and flowers like we were on some Sound of Music shoot.  But she was totally game for it all. (She's Lily the Great!)

And did you know that she is a master bubble blower? Of course. Not all Lily's are great, but this one is for sure. And she even had to battle some breeze to get those bubbles to work. (And I had to fire off a gazillion pictures to get those bubbles before they popped. It was a work out people.)

We headed up to the winery to check the place out. I had never taken photos up there before, but I heard it was lovely. And, oh my, it was. Made me want to get married again (to the same man) just so I could have my guests overlook the vineyards and we could dance on the terrace. (And then we could leave for a month long honeymoon to somewhere sunny and coastal.)

Lily did her own dancing on the terrace, making that skirt twirl and billow with air. 

I loved the band aids. There is nothing else in the world that screams I am a little kid more than two knees patched up by band aids.

We headed back down to the fields one more time just to capture Lily and her mom in the setting sun. I just love Lily looking right at me, hanging onto her mom, the sun pouring over their hair...

Now. Here's where I was about to end my post. But I thought it wouldn't be complete without me tagging on some outtakes. My favorite part of watching a movie is heading straight to the special features section to see if there is a gag reel. (Am I the only one?) Anyway, after spending a couple of hours with these two I discovered very quickly that these two are stand up comedians. Mom should really quit her day job and become a talk show host. Lily will be the comic relief. The two had this funny, playful vibe going on that was just hysterical. So, this is for you mom...

Lily's still blowing bubbles...

Sweet Lovely Lily. 

When I asked her what her mom was doing behind me, this is what she gave me.

Two peas in a pod, I tell ya.

(Seriously, the could have their own talk show.)
