Sleeping in a Pumpkin Patch (for Maura)

Uploaded 2 Nov 2009 — 27 favorites

In 2005 I captured this close-up of Ashlyn, my now four-year-old granddaughter, in the pumpkin patch at The Great Pumpkin Festival, held yearly at the Dallas Arboretum. Back then I only had my first digital camera, a little Fuji F440.
