Two Year Photo Shoot

Last week, we did a two year photo shoot in the same place we did Cole's one-year photo shoot - at Split Rock, which is a trailhead on Mohonk Preserve. The special feature of Split Rock is the stream that flows over a waterfall and the swimming hole that follows the waterfall. It's appealing for a photo shoot because there's a lot of shade and it's a diverse location - woods, open field, stream, giant slabs of rock, etc. Cole loves this place so much because it's perfect for rock-throwing and cooling down when the temperature gets too hot. It's also a great people-watching place. Further down the trail, there is a nude beach, which we usually don't venture to, only in the off-season when it is empty. But the people (many out-of-towners) who frequent the swimming hole/waterfall are interesting enough for any toddler.

Here are my picks (some of which you may have seen on Facebook) of the fantastic photos my husband took of Cole. We just did a family shoot at the same place with Peter, so I will be writing a blog post featuring those photos sometime in the next week or so.
