With the weather starting to cool, our little family headed west to the charming town of Wimberley, Texas. We staid at Montesino ranch, which is an active farm while also hosting guests and weddings. When we first arrived, the kids headed towards the beautiful garden. A man there introduced himself to our son as Farmer John, and promptly showed him how to pull a carrot from the ground. He was delighted to see what was at the end of those green tops! After that we couldn’t keep him out the garden (luckily Farmer John didn’t seem to mind). There’s nothing like some time in the wide-open outdoors to really help you slow down and enjoy what’s right in front of you.
For the last several months I’ve been eyeing Canon’s website to snag one of their refurbished 5D Mark IV cameras. This is the latest of their legendary 5D series that is used by a large majority of professional Canon shooters. While my 6D has provided me with stellar image quality over the last year, I really wanted a better auto focus system (these kiddos move so fast!). Turns out those refurbished cameras are actually new cameras returned from retailers because they don’t have the new c-log added (more of a video feature). What a deal! I finally pulled the trigger, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
ps. Congrats to the Rankin family on their beautiful baby boy!!! Thanks for letting me help capture all this sweetness.
