I realized the other day how seldom I take pictures of my boys outdoors playing in the beautiful light.

I used to have to sit outside with them and I would just snap away.

They do not need me to be outside with them all the time anymore.

But I decided to follow them around and get some images of them playing in the beautiful light like when they were little.

Something else has changed.

They do not sit and play in the dirt in one place.

They are running 90% of the time they are outside.

There are battles to be fought, places to defend, training to be done, adventures to be had.

I love this age.

They were a little easier to photograph when they needed to hold my hand for balance though…
