Take a Hike!

Today I went out for an afternoon hike since the weather was nice and it wasn’t very hot. I just needed to get away from my computer before my eyes went crazy.

I took Melissa and we cruised around in my backyard — the Santa Monica Mountains. I brought my camera in case I saw anything interesting, and also to scout out potential locations for future shoots. When I saw this tree, I asked Melissa to stand by it. I just happened to like the scene, and I wanted her in the shot to show scale. For this particular shot, I was only able to fire off one frame before she started screaming. She had ants crawling all over her and, because I had previously stood against the tree to demonstrate the pose, I too had ants crawling all over me. We spent a good 3-4 minutes getting them off of ourselves. 🙂

Anyway, I told her she’d be on my blog this afternoon, so here it is:

    Thanks for sharing our adventurous day with everyone. But why is there only one pix of me when the other girls get lots and lots of pix? We need more excursions… =)
