Taking Pictures Again

Hayden and I find ourselves on our swing set almost every day. And the other day he said I could not swing as high as he can, because I never do (I was fairly confident that it would break under my massive weight) However, his challenge was one I could not afford to shy away from. So being the competitive person I am, I matched him swing for swing (impressive I know :) But when we were swinging I tried to swing at the same time as him so we were moving along side each other, which is much more difficult to do then I thought. As Hayden gracefully swung along, I was desperately trying to stay on the same tempo, by jumping, kicking, dragging my feet and anything else to stay on track. Which apparently was a hilarious sight, because he was getting a kick out of it. The thought stuck me to get a picture of this and so I ran inside, grabbed my camera, came back out, saddled up, and found it even harder to do with one hand and while taking pictures. I'm sure our neighbors think I'm retarded, but out of the 30 or so shots I grabbed only one really came out nicely. And I must say it feels good to take pictures again.
Just a note, the only thing I did in Photoshop was convert it to black and white. The blur was done in-camera. ;)

It is always a gift when a picture is perfect from the click of the shutter. You do have me very curious as to what the colored picture looked like.
