kindergardens - week 9 {kids photo challenge}

Our KinderGARDEN assignment this week was to send the kid(s) into the garden with the camera. At lunchtime yesterday, I asked Kiddo if he wanted to go out and take his pictures in the afternoon, or if he wanted to wait for the evening. "I'll wait until evening," he said, "because the sun will be lower and it will make a nice background for my pictures and they'll be really pretty." Yep, I'm training him up well.

So after dinner, he grabbed his camera and headed out to snap some shots...and videos.

He really wanted me to post the videos, but I couldn't get them to load, so you'll have to settle for his pictures instead.  You should probably breathe a sigh of relief - when a 7-year-old makes a video while speed-walking through the garden, the result can be a queasy experience for anyone watching. 

Here are a few of Kiddo's pictures:

sunflower jungle

morning glory house

lacecap hydrangea

petunias in his flowerbed

patriotic duck in his flowerbed (and a weed)

tomatoes - we are going to be up to our EARS in grape tomatoes.  

I'm starting to panic, there are SO MANY!

morning glory house again

Flower maze.  It's growing sloooowly.  Kiddo is trying to be patient.

Arch that is supposed to be covered in hyacinth beans.  But the hyacinth beans are having trouble growing big while fighting off cucumber beetles and fast-growing sunflowers that are hoarding all of the light.

daylily

veggies (and the kinkiest no-kinking hose I've ever met)

It sure was fun watching him run around with the camera, snapping pics of what he thought was important for you to see.  

There are lots of other kids behind the camera this week - you can check out their pics at this week's KinderGARDEN post!
