So I lamented my lack of panoramas/panograms a few posts back. This had the positive effect of goosing me to do more. So here are two for you...

The Fire

Scene: Evening during the recent family reunion. Most of the family is sitting around the fire, talking about nothing in particular. So I pull out the camera phone and take this:

Ding dong I checked the little clock on the computer. 2:32 p.m. I did a quick mental run-down of who might be ringing my doorbell. Mail? Nope, already picked it up. Groceries? Nope, not until tomorrow. Delivery of some sort? I racked my brain for any evidence of orders placed. Nothing, unless Sara placed some. I double-timed it to the door and opened it to find two little girls, probably around five years old, bike helmets still firmly attached to their heads. I figured they were here to see if Linnea wanted to come out to play. "Hi guys!", I said. I've perfected a false cheerfulness that can slip under a child's radar. I'm currently knee-deep in kids, I've got game. "What's going on?" "Do you want to buy some lemonade?" Well, no, not really.
