When I met these guys at the park for pictures we fell in love with this huge maple tree that had recently dropped it’s leaves. What fabulous color and we thought it would make an excellent backdrop for theses guys. A pile of leaves is so quintessentially fall! I asked Kristi and Jeff to sit down first and then started inserting the girls where I thought they would look good. The girls were complaining that it was smelly but it’s fall and leaves decay and that can be kind of stinky. We didn’t realize HOW stinky it was until I asked Jeff to put his legs straight out instead of tucked under him. When he brought his legs around we found the source of the odor. Dog poop! On his knee! In the 10 years I’ve been taking pictures I’ve never run into this problem. Until this year and it’s happened twice in the last two months.
God bless him! Jeff is so calm in the face of a storm. His four girls and wife started screaming and running away from him but he simply went off to the side, grabbed a big maple leaf to wipe his knee and then ushered his crew to a spot a bit further back. (I should have taken a picture of the mayhem, but I was kind of joining in the panic too. Yuck!) He then nicely covered his knee with leaves (because he knows I am not a Photoshop expert) and smiled like nothing ever happened. Oh and he took all the poop jokes like a champ too!
Steve Jobs was a huge innovator and I’m a big fan of his products. However I sure am glad that he never got around to smell-o-vision or I wouldn’t have been able to share these pictures with you at all. And I had a lot of favorites!
