- But then, miraculously, it snowed on April 23.
- Cherry blossom petals swept up from various neighborhood trees.
- Took these two shots before the idea of seasons came to mind. Uploaded as a diptych in mid April when I thought the possibility for a winter shot was long gone.

That's terrific, Murn. I'm presuming you shot this all on the same day, with the help of your special F/X team, of course.....

Very nice! I'm glad you completed your original diptych with the other two seasons, it makes for a wonderful shot.
Actually, I realized it reminded me of a poster of Winnie the Pooh that is at my daughter's daycare.

What a great representation of the joy of the four seaeons! Well done. You have an adorable son!
kim.mama (98 months ago | reply)
i looooooove it. the editor in me wants the seasons to be in chronological order, but the photographer in me likes the composition you've created better.
you've inspired me to absolutely steal your idea. our little one is just 4 months, so we'll have to be patient to get the 4 seasons in!

your son must be an absolute joy! it totally shows in these photos!

You don't need to hear this from me, but I do feel the need to remark that, well, this is just excellent (as usual). [And my favorite is the winter shot.]

I appreciate these affirmations -- they definitely make a tremendous difference, and help to push me to the "next level" (whatever that may be).

Wow!!! what a great idea, and what an expressive boy! I like how the expression in the first and last shots is very similar.

I've been out of town so late in jumping on the band wagon. This is so incredible!! I am so inspired to try a season picture myself now. It really shows how energetic and happy Max is, all season long :) Just love it.
