My son Lex loves popsicles. It seems he was deep in thought as he enjoyed this one on a hot summer day as he strolled in the field behind his home. I wanted to capture him in the prime of his youth, on the verge of blooming into adulthood.

Fabulous relaxed portrait of your son with a beautiful natural nature scene in the background, Anne! L/F
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you Hazel. That land was his home for 33 years until it burned in the Marshall fire, making this portrait all the more special to my family.
