Pumpkin patch-y

Florida children are raised on the notion that a pumpkin patch consists of pumpkins lined up on wooden pallets and stacked on long church tables under a tent, on the lawn of a Methodist church beside a very busy highway, and, most likely, on a sweltering hot day. It's not exactly my romantic vision of driving to a farm and picking out a pumpkin from a literal pumpkin patch on a brisk fall day. But it's a tradition, nonetheless, and it's fun. So we'll take it.

Lovely shots, Alina! What lens are you using these days?

Cute girls - fun time! Too bad there are not "real" pumkin patches around here, but Saturday afternoon we did see "real" cotton and corn, so that was nice even though none of the pumkins are local. Did you get my e-mail that I can't get the pics off your flickr?

Thanks, Rebecca. I've been using a 50mm lens and loving it for these type of shots. It's also been fantastic indoors. I love it.
