I've added a few photos to my paw for a belated week 22 paw...

The main picture is from a field trip I went to with my son to the Tech 
Museum in San Jose.  The group of kids were understandably excited, and the 
first thing they found on entering the lower level exhibit was a big 
rock.  To most adults, the rock is not part of the fun, just an object to 
bypass on the way to the fun, but the kids swarmed it like bees.  And they 
stayed there for minutes, as if the trip was already sucessful.

I snapped a series of the kind in various states of ascension and 
descension and this frame stuck with me.

The alternate pictures were taken at a recent scout camp out. Long story 
short: the leader of the troop thought it would be a great "motivator" to 
bring along some paint ball guns (uh, yeah that was my reaction, but that 
is another story).  Being one who believes there are better ways to learn 
of the outdoors, I occupied myself alternately making fun of the idea and 
shooting pictures as the event unfolded.

I kept thinking "look at me, I'm a cheesy Robert Capa wannabe" as the 
semi-hard balls of dye impacted around me.  Close as I'm ever going to get.

I found Alt 1 especially humorous as the boys tried to figure it all out...
