Girl in motion

As I looked through the pictures from our little hike at Hemlock Bluffs, I was initially disappointed that so many of them were blurry.  Granted, the day was cloudy and we were in a forest, so there wasn't much light, but we'd splurged on an expensive SLR camera in order to get good shots of Alice. But as I thought about it, I realized that if we only had good, clear shots of her, that would mean she was just standing there doing nothing.  So I'm embracing my blurry child -- it means she is a girl who is in motion, who is eagerly and excitedly moving through the world.

Much of the trail at Hemlock Bluffs is a board walk, and she loves running on the "bridges.

She loves Hemlock Bluffs because she gets to go down (and later, up) a bunch of stairs.
