alec and his dirt bike

Alec has said often that his dirt bike is the best gift he's ever received. It was Christmas 2009. He was totally shocked. He had no idea he was getting it. It was so fun watching the look on his face when he walked outside and saw his dirt bike sitting there, a Honda CRF150F.


He's had lots of fun with it since then. We always take it with us when we go to Montpelier. We went over the July 4th weekend and it was hot. But Alec always loves riding his dirt bike and Mason rode it some too. And I always enjoy taking a few pics of them riding.

  2. The last shot looks great in B&W. I think the tones lend themselves to a B&W edit!
